1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Alan Metter
Starring: Burt Young, Keith Gordon, Rodney Dangerfield, Sally Kellerman
Continuity mistake: At the least swim meet, Chaz is shown diving before Jason Melon. Howver, after Jason dives, it then shows Chaz "up next" - and his hair is completely dry.
Thornton Melon: Girls, this is Lou. Lou, these are girls.
Trivia: The swimming pool scenes were filmed at an aquatic club at the bottom of a hillside hotel property in Industry, California. The entire pool area was torn down in 2005 and the ground levelled with dirt everywhere so now if you drove by there, you would never know it ever existed.
Question: What poem is Diane reading to her class that makes Thornton say, "Yes, yes!"?
Answer: She was reading from the novel Ulysses by James Joyce.
