    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The print released on home video by Network is missing a few minutes of sleaze content. The original theatrical version has images of pornographic books and magazines, as well as explicit lobby cards displayed by a Times Square adult movie theater. [However, see "Alternate versions".]
    • Goofs
      After Carlo stabs the rude customer outside the discotheque, he writes in his police statement "... the guy is coming at me again, so I turn and sidestep, and spin him, and he falls and makes this funny noise, and when I turn him over, he has a knife in his chest." Carlo is completely deaf and could not have read the guy's lips since he fell face down.
    • Quotes
      • Lt. Dave Madden: Some are fetishists, some are sadists, some are masochists, then there are the simple voyeurs, the pediophiliacs, but even that's too neat, too much like rules. So we have the combinations. And I'm not talking about your uncle Charlie, who buys pin-up calendars, I mean the complicated pairing. The sado-masochist, the voyeur-masochist, the exhibitionists, the necrophiliacs.
      • Norah Dain: You seem to know a lot about these things.
      • Lt. Dave Madden: Someone should.
    • Alternate versions
      Three minutes of the film were cut following premiere showings, resulting in a 91-minute version which deletes some scenes of Sal Mineo working out and swimming at the gym where he encounters Juliet Prowse. The 2024 4K restoration of the film restores this material.
