    • Trivia
      This movie was originally titled "The Hairy Bird". Miramax, the film's American distributor, found the title too offensive as it alludes to male genitalia, so they released the film under the alternate title "All I Wanna Do". In Canada and the United Kingdom, the film is titled "Strike!" Only the Australian release retains the original title.
    • Goofs
      Vereena's tray as she purchases cigarettes from one of the cooks. The plate is on the tray, then on the table as she removes the cigarettes, then it is on the tray again.
    • Quotes

      Odette: Up your ziggy with a wa-wa brush.

    • Alternate versions
      The original "Strike!" version had a scene in which Tinka was vulgarly dancing with a boy and then after the dance, Verena got the boy a handkerchief; That scene was removed from the "All I wanna do" version. You can still see a bit of Verena grabbing the handkerchief in the "All I wanna do" version.

    Teen pranks with a purpose.
    Cute movie with lots of laughs and teen attempts to change the world. I enjoyed this one for the humor and the realistic aspects of what teenagers can and will do. Young love not to be over looked. Whether prep school, college or finishing, kids will find a way to out smart the school administration and that's what this movie is about. If you want humorous entertainment, this is the one for you.
