Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBrad Renfro was arrested during filming for attempting to steal a yacht.
- GoofsThere are no anachronisms in the film. Yes the events depicted occurred in the early 1990's, but Larry Clark has stated that he set the film in 2000 so that he wouldn't have to worry about anachronisms. Also yes, the Mustang is not a 5.0. She isn't a car girl and doesn't know better. In the film she is even told that she is wrong, so that is a deliberate goof.
- Quotes
Donny: Shit, I never knew nobody who killed somebody.
Alice 'Ali' Willis: Me neither.
Heather: Just my grandpa. I never knew him. Yeah. My grandpa was a bad drunk. Really bad. He'd rape anyone dumb enough to walk by his room and one night... he got... um, really pissed at my grandma and he took a claw hammer to her face. And, uh, after that, he just... he locked himself up with her in his room for two whole days and he kept drinking and having sex with her after she was dead. My mom was in the house the whole time.
Donny: Fuck.
Heather: She was only 15.
Alice 'Ali' Willis: Holy shit.
Heather: You know, it really messed with her head. After that, she only hung out with guys who beat the hell out of her. And when I was little, she'd get drunk and she'd drag me and my brother out of bed at, like, four in the morning and she had all the news clippings about my grandpa and the trial transcriptions and she'd read them over and over again. And I knew every word before kindergarten. I think that's how I learned to read.

While Nick Stahl was convincingly despicable and even Leo Fitzpatrick seemed more real than real, Brad Renfro OWNS his role as Marty. He was just so natural in the part that I can't help but think that, if he keeps making the right choices, he'll one day be considered a "great actor." One can only hope.
