    • Trivia
      Writer/director Bob Clark gathered material for the movie over a 15 year period. The story is composite of incidents collected from the males of his generation along with some of his own personal memories from growing up in high school.
    • Goofs
      A boom mic is visible in the upper right hand corner in the trees of the school parking lot, as Mickey walks forward to ask Billy and Tommy if the plans for Cherry Forever are set for the night.
    • Quotes

      Balbricker: [as all the staff members keep their mouths covered to stop laughing] Now, Mr. Carter. I know this is completely unorthodox. But I think this is the only way to find that boy. Now that penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere. In spite of the juvenile snickers of some, this is a serious matter. That seducer and despoiler must be stopped; he's extremely dangerous. And, Mr. Carter, I'm certain that everyone in this room knows who that is. He's a contemptible little pervert who...

      Mr. Carter: [abrupt] Miss Balbricker!

      Balbricker: Well, I'm sorry, but I've got him now, and I'm not going to let him slip through my fingers again

      [a murmur of mirth rises from several occupants]

      Balbricker: . Now, all I'm asking is that you give me five boys for a few minutes. The coaches can be present - Tommy Turner and any four boys you see fit to choose and we... and we... can put a stop to this menace. And it is a menace.

      [pause]

      Balbricker: [irritably] Well, what are you gonna do about it?

      [Carter hums and hars]

      Mr. Carter: Err

      [finally speaks]

      Mr. Carter: Five young boys in the nude, a police line-up so that you can identify his tallywhacker.

      [sighs]

      Mr. Carter: Please, please can we call it a "tallywhacker"? Penis is so ppp... penis is so personal.

      Balbricker: We can put hoods over their heads to avoid embarrassment

      [Carter repeats "Hoods" in disbelief]

      Balbricker: . Now listen: we have got to do it, as distasteful as it is. I know it's him. That

      [pause]

      Balbricker: tallywhacker had a mole on it. And that mole is the key to it.

      Mr. Carter: Miss Balbricker, do you realize the difficulty of your request? Now, I would be very happy to, uh, to apprehend the young man myself. But can you imagine what the board of education would say if you were granted a line-up in order to examine their private pa... aaa... their... yaha...

      [composes himself]

      Mr. Carter: their private parts

      [now firmly]

      Mr. Carter: for an incriminating mole?

      Balbricker: But Mr. Carter.

      Coach Brakett: [stops stifling his giggling and speaks up] Mr. Carter, I think I have a way out of this. We, uh, call the police, and we have 'em send over one of their sketch artists.

      [Carter rolls his eyes]

      Coach Brakett: And Miss Balbricker can give a description. We can put up "Wanted" posters all over school... "Have you seen this prick?

      [Carter struggles not to grin]

      Coach Brakett: Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker. Do not attempt to apprehend this prick, as it is armed and dangerous.

      [falls off his chair]

      Coach Brakett: It was last seen hanging out in the girls' locker room at Angel Beach High School."

      [everyone including Carter falls about laughing in hysterics as an enraged Balbricker storms out in a fury]

    • Crazy credits
      As the end credits roll, an additional scene is shown featuring Pee-wee and Wendy on a school bus. Also, Balbricker returns one final time in her never-ending quest to punish the boys.
    • Alternate versions
      In a tv version, the boys are wearing underwear as they run from Cherry Forever's house. In the theatrical version they cover themselves with their hands.

    Go ahead and laugh! It's okay!
    I can certainly understand adults not finding this film as funny as adolescents will. This story of high school buddies trying to infiltrate a Florida brothel in the 1950s is neither classy nor sophisticated.

    It is, however, quite funny. Just sit back and watch the group of pals playing tricks on each other and sticking together when things turn serious. Watching it today brings back memories of some of the stupid things me and my high school friends did back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We all tried to get into strip clubs before we were 18. We didn't see any trouble with breaking the law as long as nobody got hurt. We all were out to have a much sex as we possibly could. That's what a good portion of growing up for us guys is all about!

    That said, the events depicted in this film, such as destroying a night club and sticking our manhood through a hole in the girls' shower didn't happen. That's why films are made. They take ideas in our heads and try to show what would happen if they actually played out.

    Only the coldest and stiffest of men couldn't find anything to laugh about with this movie. It is in no way meant to be taken seriously. It has been criticized to the point of no return, though. Why? Are some people unable to laugh at juvenile pranks, or were they on the receiving end of them when they were in high school?

    If you had fun growing up, you will probably like this film. If you look back at your younger years with regret, then you most likely won't enjoy it.

    8 of 10 stars

    And just gotta add 4/4/2007...... RIP Bob Clark. We'll miss you, man!

    The Hound will see you on the other side some day!
