    Edit
    • Trivia
      In the documentary, Listen to Me Marlon (2015), Marlon Brando called this movie "the worst movie I ever made in my life."
    • Goofs
      Nearing the midway point, when Candy has disrobed for General Smight, and she is shown from the rear, she appears to be completely nude. However, when shown from the front, a slim strip of her panties can be seen on her right hip. (This comment is from the generally available edited cut in the United States of 101 minutes, so may not be an issue in the full version of 124 minutes.)
    • Quotes

      MacPhisto: The poem that I just recited to you was composed in a hospital in Burma as I lay close to death, having been savagely beaten by a... a horde of outraged Belgian tourists. You will find this poem in my collected verse entitled... "Forests of Flesh".

    • Alternate versions
      The version available to stream from Shout! Factory TV and Amazon Prime Video is much shorter, lasting only 1hr 40min. It has been heavily edited to shorten or remove many of the sexually explicit scenes and nudity, sexually suggestive conversation, and some other foul language. It is missing 24 minutes total from the original 124 minute version.

    Funny as hell

    If you understand this movie,it is very funny.It is really an exaggeration of the way life is.It shows the plight of naive young girl,who encounters men,who want nothing more,than to get into her pants. It makes you have compassion for this girl,and women in general.The situations in this movie happen all the time to women.I call it a sexual Alice in wonderland. So if you have ever sexually violated a minor,you might find this movie offensive.Very cleverly done!This movie can only be understood by intelligent viewers and offers comedy in tradition of the cohen brothers Fargo. The psychedelic music score is way cool.To bad it was in mono.
