    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The scene where Louise grabs Thelma's headphones from her and scares her was not planned. In the DVD's audio commentary, Geena Davis commented where she was supposed to get up when Susan Sarandon called her from the car, but had the volume on her Walkman turned up too high, and did not hear her cue, so Susan came over to get her.
    • Goofs
      While it is a popular movie trope that a caller must stay on the line a minimum amount of time before the call can be traced, by the time of this movie's setting, calls could be traced as soon as the connection was made. This is true even with a landline, a public phone, or a long distance call, as was the case in the film.
    • Quotes
      • State Trooper: [sobbing] Please! I have a wife and kids. Please!
      • Thelma: You do? Well, you're lucky. You be sweet to 'em, especially your wife. My husband wasn't sweet to me. Look how I turned out.
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD retains the original MGM logo, but used the 1995 master of Leo's roar.
