Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sylvia is searching for clothes to suit her "new" attitude, she pulls a pair of underpants off a clothes line and tries them on. We see that she is wearing white underpants, then when she later puts the skirt from the charity bin on, her underwear is black. At no time does she get black underpants from anywhere.

Neuter Grandmother on Bus: I seen you, Sylvia Stickles, showing your pubic patch to the bus driver. You should move downtown where you belong, you whore.
Trivia: An edited, R-rated cut of the film was eventually released on DVD in certain much-more conservative retailer stores (such as Wal-Mart) and video-rental establishments when the film hit home media. Dubbed "The Neuter Version," the R-rated cut is infamous for almost comically redubbing virtually all profanities in the film, pixelating obscene material, and replacing shots of nude characters with shots of fully clothed characters. (Thus ruining several jokes.) It also has some of the film's more famous moments removed entirely. Director John Waters, who was utterly mystified at this version of the film, has stated that the Neuter version is only for "brainless people" or "really weird collectors."
