    • Trivia
      The outside of the house that the character of Dina lives in is the same house that was used as the one for Laurie (Jennifer Ashley) in 'The Pom Pom Girls' (1976) which was also a Crown International Pictures release.
    • Goofs
      When the lifeguard (Dina) shouts through the bullhorn to "come back to the beach" the second time her lips are mouthing something different. The audio is re-used from the first time she uses the bullhorn.

      Paul: To Dina: Alright... you like me as a friend right?

      Dugan Hicks: To Paul: You're outta your league, aren't you... punk?

      Paul: Listen turd, this is a private party.

      Dugan Hicks: Who're you calling turd?

      Dina: Hey he isn't bothering me. Dugan... leave him alone.

      Dugan Hicks: No, you stay out of this. Nobody, but nobody calls Dugie a turd!

      Paul: Anything you say, pig-face!

    A fairly competent Beach Yarn

    This movie has just about everything you would expect from a beach movie: Bullies, nerds, lifeguards, sharks, obnoxious brats, police, drugs, "chicken" races, horny teachers, sluts, topless beach babes, and surprisingly a bikini top stealing dog!(this gag was repeated in the classic "Hardbodies").Hey, with so much thrown into one can, you have to like something! And I like it a lot.This movie, I believe accidently, came off as a genuine "slice of life" movie that could have been better if it had stuck to the characterizations and not tried to be something for everyone.It was a nice try though!
