Back kick to the head.


I finally saw this movie today off of my DVR. I enjoyed but there was one scene that was hilarious to me and couldn't have been planned to happen that way. Just over a half hour into the movie when the boy is being arrested outside the diner and pushed down against the police car, it must have been done with enough force that his foot flies backwards and hits one of the cops in the head. I wasn't sure if I saw it right the first time so I reowund it to make sure and yep, kicks him in the head. I then rewound it to watch a few more times and laugh my butt off.

I didn't see anyone mention this before. Somebody has to have seen this before, right?

EDIT- I checked and it was listed in the goofs section. Funny all the same. I would think the actor who was kicked in the head would've mentioned it but maybe he did and the director thought it worked for the scene.

LOL, I just saw it myself. Never noticed it before and I saw this movie many times. Thanks for pointing it out.

I never noticed it before either and I have this movie on DVD.

I've seen this movie a number of times but never noticed.

I showed the movie to my friend last night for the first time and he caught that moment and we rewound it to make sure that really happened. Needless to say, we laughed so hard we started to cry.

His name is Gene Davis. I remember him mostly as the drag queen hustler in 'Cruising' wearing lipstick and lycra tights.
