Movie Trivia/Goofs

  • The "ASK ME" pin worn by Kurtwood Smith in the hardware store shows up again in Alexander Payne's following film, Election.
  • Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Ruth is going out to party with her host family's daughter, she takes a hit from a bong, but does so incorrectly, not clearing the smoke from the chamber.
  • This movie marks the reunion of Laura Dern and Burt Reynolds in a theatrical movie. The 1970s Reynolds movie White Lightning had been Dern's uncredited film debut. Dern was just six years old when she appeared in a brief non-speaking walk on bit part. In White Lightning, Dern played the daughter of her real life mother Diane Ladd who played Maggie. This time around in Citizen Ruth, it is Dern who has the main part with Reynolds playing a supporting role.
