* PlayingGertrude: Stephen Nathan and Cindy Williams were both in their late 20s, while Harry and Rosie seem like roles meant for actors closer to middle age.


Added DiffLines:

* UnderageCasting: The timeline of Schechter Studio suggests that Harry probably should be around 40 or so and Rosie would probably be around the same age. Also, the twist of [[spoiler:having them perform the closing number]] would be funnier if they were older and less likely to [[spoiler:be in a porno film]]. But Stephen Nathan and Cindy Williams were both in their late 20s when the film was made.

* BillingDisplacement: Creator/RonHoward is onscreen for exactly 22 seconds, but some video releases have billed him as one of the stars.



* ScrewedByTheNetwork: {{Creator/Paramount}} picked up the film after a bidding war and started trying to build up momentum for it. Then the Paramount-produced ''Series/LaverneAndShirley'' became a hit, and studio executives suddenly got nervous about distributing the film, for fear that the presence of Cindy Williams in the cast might lead to a scandal that would harm ''Laverne and Shirley'''s ratings (even though she doesn't appear nude or have much involvement with the more risqué parts of the film). Paramount deliberately tried to bury the film, until one of the producers threatened to sue for breach of contract. Opting for independent distribution, the film became a surprise sleeper hit.
