Trivia
Marshall R. Teague initially didn't get along with Patrick Swayze. While filming their big fight, both men quickly realized they shared a dedication to realistic stunts. They developed so much mutual trust that they improvised a lot, and allowed each other to throw real punches and kicks. When Jimmy swings a log at Dalton, Teague mistakenly thought it was a breakable prop log. By the end, Swayze was covered in bruises, with two broken ribs and a busted knee.

Goofs
When Red is reaching for the replacement antenna for Dalton, you can see a prop man handing the antenna to him.

Quotes
Dalton: I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice.

Crazy credits
While the end credits are rolling, the house band does one more number.

Alternate versions
The UK cinema version was intact, although the video release was cut by 10 seconds by the BBFC to remove a knee kick, a double ear-clap and a groin punch. Dialogue about felling enemies by kicking them in the knee was also removed. The cuts were waived in 2001 for the DVD release.

Connections
Edited into Jeff Healey (1991)

One of the best bad movies ever

I love this movie. Why? Because it's sooo bad it's good. It dosen't

take itself too seriously (for the most part) but the lines really put

this one over the edge. "It's gonna get worse before it get's better"

""Be nice until it's time to not be nice" and "Oh baby, your gonna

be my regular Saturday night thing!" are classics of bad cinema.

The characters? All one dimensional hillbillies. The acting? Awful.

The plot? Yeah right. This movie is great because you can't take

your eyes away. What cheesy line comes next? When's the next

fight? And Who's the hot blonde? A guilty pleasure through and

through but it is fun sitting around with a bunch of guys watching

this and laughing your ass off. A great guy movie. Recommended.
