Directed by: Ken Russell
Starring: Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, Roger Daltrey, Tina Turner, Elton John
Continuity mistake: During "Eyesight to the Blind," The Preacher's guitar changes from a red Les Paul to a black Stratocaster. It's not blatantly obvious, but easy enough to spot without slow-mo. (00:26:33 - 00:30:02)
Nora Walker Hobbs: What about the boy? What about the boy? What about the boy? He saw it all.
Frank Hobbs: He didn't see it, he didn't hear it, he will say nothing to no one.
Trivia: Ken Russell wanted Christopher Lee to play The Specialist. However, Lee was unavailable, filming The Man With the Golden Gun in Bangkok. Russell eventually cast Jack Nicholson.
