Trivia
Gregg Araki had the opportunity to remaster the film in 2009. This was important to him because it was being shown in universities in history lessons about queer cinema, and most of the universities were showing tired copies on VHS. See more »Quotes

I thought the story was good, for what he was trying to do. I did not like Luke, the blond in this movie. I thought his acting was awful. The beginning of this movie was really stupid, leading up until Luke finally ran into Jon. By the way Jon was beautiful from the face all the way down. The best part was the last 1/2 hour leading up to the end, which is very touching and you will probably leave with a tear. A must see!!!!! Very good.
