Did anyone else notice?


Nothing about it on the trivia page. We see Bo Derek smoking pot in her room at the resort. And the room number is... 420.

I did, it's there now :) I posted before I finished watching the movie - just said she offers him a joint. Later, we see her smoking.

It actually is probably just coincedence...
California Senate Bill 420 didn't exist until 2003 and the slang "420" for Med MaryJane followed.

reply

The use of "420" in reference to marijuana goes back to the 1970s.

Four king-enlighten me...what is the origin of "420" then if not in reference to Senate Bill 420,introduced in 2003.?

reply

FourKing.....Im answering my own question-in 1971 a group of high school student known as the "WALDOS" would meet everyday at 4:20pm to smoke together..that became "420" and a California State lobbyist copped the term which became known as Prop.420....

Naw. I think it was just a coincidence.

I think it's a coincidence, too, but funny! Bo says, "There's a joint in the ashtray." And she asks him if she wants some pot. Hard to miss. Plus they sit there smoking a joint and talking about getting high to Bolero.
