* EnforcedMethodActing: Wives and girlfriends were banned from the set in order to make sure the cast internalised life on a chain gang. An ''Entertainment Weekly'' article on the 50th anniversary of the film also speculated that it was done to heighten their reactions during the car-washing scene.

Trivia items aren't tropes and so can't be averted, subverted etc.


* BeamMeUpScotty: Narrowly averted via MeaningfulEcho. The famous line, "What we've got here is a failure to communicate!" is used towards the end of the film. The first instance of the line is "What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach" (notably, the version without the indefinite article was sampled by Music/GunsNRoses for "Civil War"). Though it's also typically quoted with a thick southern accent, meaning the warden's version should be used.



* EnforcedMethodActing:
** Subverted. Filmmakers suggested that Joy Harmon get high before doing the car wash scene - in order to seem more relaxed. She made it clear she wouldn't, and did the scene 'unstoned'.
** Wives were banned from the set in order to make sure the cast internalised life on a chain gang.
