Trivia

The film follows Harmony Korine's script quite closely. There is really only one notable difference: the removal of a scene that visually represents an apocryphal story told by Telly in which Casper, as a young child, mistakes his parents' S & M lovemaking for a real attack and stabs his leather-masked father to death with the family's turkey-carving knife.

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the crowd of kids is beating up the hoodlum in Washington Square Park, they can clearly be seen kicking air. See more »
