Tammy Lynn Leppert, who played the female boxer in the movie, disappeared on July 6, 1983 under suspicious circumstances and has never been heard from again.
Reportedly, the legs, hips and torso used for the films' main movie poster, were allegedly those of model, actress, and beauty queen Tammy Lynn Leppert.
Producer-director Sean S. Cunningham's conception of Spring Break (1983) dates back to his own student days at Stanford University when he vacationed on the Strip in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, USA. Remembering his own experiences, Cunningham wanted to capture that "once-in-a-student's-life time" fun with a movie about the day's coeds and collegians in an authentic setting.
The film's title track and theme song "Spring Break" was sung by Cheap Trick but failed to perform on the top-of-the-pops hit charts. It was released as a vinyl single '45 with the B-side being a song track called "Get Ready" which was not part of the movie's soundtrack though.
The song track "Caught Up in You" by 38 Special is heard in the film but it was not included on the movie's soundtrack.
