Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe tight budget imposed by Twentieth Century Fox meant the leads had to accept deferred payments for making this movie. Bill Cosby (Mother) and Harvey Keitel (Speed) agreed to the deferred money. The producers wanted Valerie Perrine to play "Jugs", but she wouldn't defer any money. Raquel Welch wanted the part badly, and would work for deferred money, so she was cast instead.
- GoofsAt several places in the film, the actor's lip movements do not match the audio, revealing that the dialogue was toned down. During Tony's job interview, Fishbein is heard saying "all-day heat on" but his lip movements are "hard-on." Later, when discussing Murdoch, Jugs is heard saying "a $100 bill sticking out of his ear" but her lips clearly say "out of his ass."

Not a Bad Film, Funny with Touches of Dramatic Realism
This is a very funny, interesting and worth-watching movie from the 70s. It ought to be seen as a product of the early American indie that helped kick-start the anti-Hollywood boom that mirrored the social and cultural changes happening in the 70s. I liked it and I recommend it to anyone who wants to experience something with a rebellious flair. This film has an edge, not unlike Mean Streets or even Repo Man, and it addresses social issues while maintaining a satirical tack. I love movies from the 60s and 70s because they were made before the whole PG-13 watering down of American Cinema, before political correctness took hold of Hollywood, and before we all thought that we already knew everything there was to know.
