Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRobert Evans sent Debra Winger back from location because he did not think she was attractive enough for the lead; it was only at the insistence of Director James Bridges that she did the role.
- GoofsThe terrain of Houston/Pasadena Texas is very flat, yet as Bud and other characters are seen driving down his street in the trailer park, a significant range of hills is easily noticed in the background. (These scenes were filmed in a trailer park in a suburb of Los Angeles called Pico Rivera, California, and the hills are the San Gabriel Mountains.)
- Quotes
Uncle Bob: You know Bud; sometimes even a cowboy's gotta swallow his pride to hold on to somebody he loves.
Bud: What do you mean?
Uncle Bob: Hell, I know, I pretty near lost Corene and the kids a couple of times just 'cause of pride. You know you think that ol' pride's gonna choke you going down, but I tell you what ain't a night goes by I don't thank the boss up there for giving me a big enough throat. 'Cause without Corene and them kids, hell, I'd just be another pile of dog shit in the canteloupe patch just drawing flies.
Bud: I guess so.
Uncle Bob: Think about it Bud, pride's one of those seven deadlies, you know what I mean?
- Alternate versionsThe conversation that Bud has with Uncle Bob right before Bud shaves off his beard was cut for the VHS release.

If you grew up in in East Texas, then you know this movie is an accurate depiction of contemporary life at that time. If you didn't then trust me and watch the movie. Either you will join the many who love it (and at the same time strangely repulsed), or at the very least, you can make fun of the red-necks. (There is plenty material for poking fun.) This movie doesn't try to be P.C. (what was that in the 80's) or hide the white trash element and it is honest to the time and place.
Gotta be a 10 for me!
