Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All

Screenwriter Nicholas Kazan originally wrote in the script a scene in which after Brad Sr. and Brad Jr. "do laundry", Brad Sr. takes little Brad to a whorehouse. The scene was not filmed due to "reasons beyond his control".
When Christopher Walken works with guns in film, he checks them himself before each scene for safety reasons and his own personal ease. During the scene when 'Sean Penn' sticks a gun in Walken's face, Walken checked the gun before the scene started. Before the director had the chance to say "Action", Penn ran off camera and shouted, "Give me the other gun!" He immediately returned to Walken and started the scene. This is the cut that made it into the movie, and Walken was really terrified.
Movie Goof (errors in geography): The story takes place in Pennsylvania, but in the night time scene in the town square, a bright First Tennessee Bank shines.
Movie Goof (boom mic visible): Reflected in passenger-side window of truck when Brad, Sr. brings Terry to the motel.
