Did You Know?
| Trivia | Originally released with a "PG" rating in 1977, for some reason the studio wanted an "R" rating so they told the MPAA to re-rate the film as such in 1978. See more » |
| Goofs | The lighting and weather in the film can seemingly change from shot to shot in many scenes. However, this is a low budget film where the director did not have the luxury to wait around for conditions to change, especially at the location chosen for this film. See more » |
| Movie Connections | Featured in 42nd Street Forever, Volume 3: Exploitation Explosion (2008). See more » |
| Crazy Credits | The film's end credits play over a still image of a trapped dog licking Jerry's hand. See more » |
