- QuizRandy Peterson, the stuntman who doubled for Sam Rockwell in the dive off the bridge early in the film, performed the stunt a total of six times - five times completely naked, and once wearing briefs (in case an alternative shot would be needed for a US TV version). The bridge (in Louisville, Kentucky, USA) was 30 feet high and the water around nine feet deep.
- BlooperWhen Devon pours a glass of water for Trent it is less than half full. In the next scene outside it is seen to be more than half full even after splashing it about.
- Versioni alternativeFor showing on US television, all of the profanity was dubbed over with less extreme words, the sex scene between Trent and Pam (at around 20 minutes in) used an alternate take where they are wearing clothes as opposed to them being nude in the original, and the scene where Trent dives off the bridge completely naked (at around 10 minutes in) used an alternate take with him (actually a stunt man) wearing underwear. The alternate takes were filmed with the intention of this being shown on TV in the US. The version streaming on several internet services (Amazon, Tubi, etc.) is this censored TV version.

Recensione in evidenza
This superb film, directed by John Duigan, the gifted director of THE YEAR MY VOICE BROKE, is about a friendship between a young girl (Mischa Barton of "The OC") and a free-spirited young, adult man (Sam Rockwell).
It's self-aware enough to acknowledge the inherent sensitivity of its subject matter, but it doesn't cave into conservative conclusions about how such a relationship ought to be portrayed.
At heart, LAWN DOGS is about trust, not the death of innocence or the festering political correctness all around us that sees danger in every unconventional relationship. It does touch on the subject of sexual abuse, but it doesn't come at it from the angle you'd suspect...and that's the whole point, isn't it? Sexual abuse, for the most part, usually visits as someone you've known well enough to trust completely.
Beyond its politics, this is a unique, bracing fantasy that is more European than American (or Australian) in its view world both morally and visually. The climax is an unexpected treat and its moral resolution arrives just in the nick of time.
Sumptuously photographed and written with great intelligence by Naomi Wallace, it dares to be erotic, provoking, unconventional and incisive.
Don't pass it up if you get an offer.
