Trivia:
The movie was loosely based on events that took place in the tiny, rural Oklahoma farming community of Elmore City. moreGoofs:
Errors in geography: During the playing chicken with the tractors scene, you can see snow capped mountains in the background. moreQuotes:
Reverend Shaw Moore: Even if this was not a law, which it is, I'm afraid I would have a lot of difficulty endorsing an enterprise which is as fraught with genuine peril as I believe this one to be. Besides the liquor and the drugs which always seem to accompany such an event the thing that distresses me even more... moreSoundtrack:

City boy moves to small town and doesn't fit in. A film based on the same old story that follows the same old lines yet somehow manages to make you enjoy. Nothing new happens in this movie but you will watch with a smile on your face (especially during Kev's big drinking/dancing scene.) A great representation of what an 80s flick is all about.
