Mr. Lester: [drunkenly, into microphone] I wanna tell the whole world something. Those cops, they ain't gonna take my boy Torch. There ain't enough cops in the whole world to take my boy Torch. You hear me? They ain't gonna take my boy Torch!
Jim Bradford: [taking away microphone] Ladies and gentlemen, when you pick up your morning newspaper and read about some youngster getting into trouble and wonder why... I think you've heard one good answer.


Jack 'Cruiser' Bryan: [to Jim Bradford, as he is being arrested] We had a ball. A real ball.

Facts about

Film debut of Arch Hall Jr.
Both Arch Hall Jr. and Burr Middleton got into trouble with the unions on the set of the film, Hall for moving the car he drove in the film (he was allowed to drive it during actual shooting but was supposed to wait for union workers to move it any other time) and Middleton for loaning his personal car to the production and then taking it back again because he needed it to return home after a day's work.
The Arch Hall Jr. songs "Konga Joe" and "Monkey in My Hatband" were recorded before the film was made, with top L.A.-area session musicians, and released on the Signature label through a deal made with TV personality Steve Allen.
