Trivia
Louise Fletcher was so upset with the fact that the other actors could laugh and be happy while she had to be so cold and heartless that near the end of production she removed her dress and stood in only her panties to prove to the actors she was not "a cold-hearted monster". See more »Goofs
Continuity: As the chief and the boys are being escorted through the doorway on the way to their ECT, the male orderly with Chief is not the same one as the one on the other side of the doorway. The second one is much taller, nearly equal in height to the Chief. See more »Quotes
