    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The shot where the camera quickly zooms in on the couple was actually done in reverse. A camera was attached to a truck and driven in reverse, starting from the couple until they can't be seen anymore.
    • Goofs
      As the couple are lying on the ground kissing in the opening scene, they both turn their heads to look when they hear the lawnmower. When the scene cuts to the POV of the mower heading towards them, they're looking in the opposite direction.
    • Crazy credits
      After the closing credits is a scene in which a hedge trimmer starts up on its own, followed by the words: "HEDGES - Just when you thought it was safe to trim".
    • Alternate versions
      The German video version (rated 'Not under 16') released in 1989 by UFA Video omits 7 seconds of violence.
    • Connections
      Featured in East of Wall (2025)
