Did You Know?
| Trivia | The club scenes where Randy takes Julie were filmed in a sunset strip club originally named Filthy McNasty's in the 1960s and '70s. In the '80s it was called 'The Central,' which was later purchased by Johnny Depp and is now known as The Viper Room, where River Phoenix infamously died on Halloween, 1993. See more » |
| Goofs | Tommy's rented limousine is a mid-1980's Chrysler K-car. When Julie and Randy make their escape from the Valley High prom, the limousine had changed into a Lincoln Town Car. See more » |
