Trivia: As the directors wanted a well-known actor to play the one adult character (the coach), they initially approached Peter Lawford for the role, but were not able to get him as he wanted $35,000 and a free shopping trip in Harrods, when the most the directors were willing to offer him was $25,000. In the end, one director (Dick Randall) got his friend Marc Smith to play the part for a mere $750.

Continuity mistake: Marty is in a school shower stall facing outwards. It is a close shot. He is dry and completely naked. He covers his genitals with his right hand. A large swath of the top of his dark pubic hair is plainly visible. In the next shot, as he exits the shower and moves to his right, he is still completely naked, however, he appears to be covered in thick soap suds from above his belly button all the way down to the lower part of his thighs to the point that his pubic hair is not even distinctly visible.

They are not suspicious even when they have to break a window to get in to the school.Surely they would be suspicious by then and not go in?
