    Storyline

    • Trivia
      After seeing a rough cut of the film, Burt Reynolds regretted making it. He fired his agent for recommending the role to him, and did not participate in promotional interviews. Reynolds ended up winning a Golden Globe for the role, and being nominated for an Academy Award for his performance. Despite being a front runner for the latter, it was widely rumored that he did not win because he had distanced himself from the movie earlier.
    • Goofs
      When Little Bill complains to Kurt about his wife having sex with other men, he says, "My fucking wife has an ass in her cock in the driveway, Kurt." Little Bill was supposed to say "My fucking wife has a cock in her ass in the driveway, Kurt", but the director loved the way the incorrect line showed how angry and flustered Bill was, and left the scene intact.
    • Quotes

      Dirk: What can you expect when you're on top? You know? It's like Napoleon. When he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. So, it's history repeating itself all over again.

    • Crazy credits
      As the credit for Robert Downey Sr. scrolls up the screen, the words "(a prince)" appear next to his name.
    • Alternate versions
      New Line Platinum Edition, released on DVD, features 9 additional scenes not included in the original theatrical version. The sell through widescreen VHS tape also has the deleted scenes.

    Staggering

    The first time I saw "Boogie Nights" in a theater, I walked out flabbergasted. I'd never been that affected by a movie since "Pulp Fiction" (and that's saying a lot). After being numbed by a decade's worth of stark, Kevin Smith-style indie banalities, I just wasn't used to seeing a movie that covered that much emotional and cultural ground. I saw it three more times in the theater, never getting bored with it. I own it today on video. I really can't say enough great things about this amazing movie. A movie which will no doubt be regarded as a classic in years to come.
