- CuriosidadesThe film's star, Fernando Ramos da Silva, who plays a young street criminal, actually was a street criminal before he made this film. After completing it, he took up the criminal life again, and was killed in Brazil in 1987 in an alleged shootout with police. While police reports claim that da Silva was resisting arrest, there are conflicting reports from eyewitnesses, who claim da Silva was unarmed. Furthermore, a forensic examination showed that he had been shot while lying on the ground. Both his wife and mother called the shooting "a police execution." The story of Fernando Ramos da Silva is depicted in the biographical film Quem Matou Pixote? (1996).
- Versões alternativasAll UK versions were cut by 27 secs under the 1978 Protection of Children Act. The scene removed was a panning shot showing Pixote on a bed alongside a couple having sex.

If this doesn't get to you, you must be made of stone.
This is a difficult movie to watch, and would have been even more difficult had I known then that the actor playing the protagonist was in fact killed in his home by police at age 19. Pixote (PeeWee) is a street kid in Sao Paulo who is caught in a roundup triggered by a murder in which he had no involvement. He is committed to a juvenile prison where he witnesses brutality and exploitation that ordinary citizens try very hard to believe doesn't exist. When finally he escapes, he and three comrades survive by the only means they know, which is crime. What makes the film so heart-rending is that both Pixote and the actor portraying him clearly do not wish to be the characters life circumstances have made them. Pixote tries to trust and to love and to bond, but there simply is no room in his world for the gentle side of human nature. One is left at the end wanting desperately to do something for the Pixotes of the world, but what? Building more children's's prisons with higher walls surely is not the answer...
