- TriviaA search of the Harnett County, NC registry of vital statistics shows that Debbi Morgan, who was present in the film's unsimulated sex scene, was born in 1951, not 1956, and thus was 19, not 14, when this film was released.
- Quotes
Jake Masters: You got to trust me.
Jason Dominic: I trusted a man in 1938. He took me for 67 dollars. That was a lot of money in those days.
- Alternate versionsThe film was submitted to the BBFC under its original title in February 1972 and was rejected. It was resubmitted in a pre-edited form, cut down to 82 minutes by the distributor, and received further cuts before being released as "Super Dick" later the same year. A further re-edited version, retitled "American Oddballs", was passed with over a minute of cuts for video in 1987, with edits to the infamous necrophilia scene..

Featured review
This movie was something of a revelation when it came out -- a full-tilt x-rated film that had little to do with sex. It's structured as a detective film, with Alan Garfield (Goorwitz) in one of his early roles. Everyone talks sex (and often takes part), but the film is ultimately a bizarre comedy about sex. Accidental necrophilia may not sound like fertile ground for jokes, but it does work.
Sort of like x-rated Preston Sturges crossed with South Park. (I'm not claiming it's as good as either, but they give you an idea of the sensibility.) It will offend the uptight, that's for sure.
