Trivia

The roller coaster scene was originally written to have taken place in a zoo. Director Tony Scott changed it to give the movie an "adrenaline rush". See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Alabama enters the theater where Clarence is watching The Streetfighter, you hear dialog that takes place in the first scene of that movie. Once she sits down and lights a cigarette it cuts to the screen and the movie is at the climax. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Clarence Worley: In Jailhouse Rock he was everything rockabilly's about. I mean, he is rockabilly. Mean, surly, nasty, rude. In that movie he couldn't give a fuck about nothing except rockin' and rollin', living fast, dying young and leaving a good-looking corpse.
