* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Haskell Wexler initially wanted to cast Creator/JohnCassavetes in the lead, playing a character named [[TheDanza "John Cassavetes"]]. As an artifact of that idea, Forster's character has the very similar name of "John Casselis."

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Music licensing snarls have affected various prints of the film. The biggest victim was "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHqR1Rql5r8 Merry Go Round]]" by OutsiderMusic legend [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Man_Fischer Larry "Wild Man" Fischer]], which originally played during the roller derby sequence. With Fischer's recordings from TheSixties tangled up in the various rights issues involving his discoverer and original producer Music/FrankZappa, "Merry Go Round" only got licensed for theatrical and television screenings, and Paramount was sued over its use in the VHS release in TheEighties, which resulted in the then-destitute Fischer getting awarded money for infringement. Because of this, all subsequent home video releases, including the DVD and Blu-ray versions, have replaced "Merry Go Round" with the whistled version of "Sweet Georgia Brown" used as the theme song for the Harlem Globetrotters. Fischer's death in 2011 may have left the whole situation unresolvable.
