Anecdotes:

There was a deleted scene when Dirk Diggler crashes his Corvette into a telephone booth. The scene had to be deleted because of time, but the car still remains wrecked when Dirk visits Rahad Jackson's house, drives away, and drives back to Jack's house. When Dirk and Reed are conspiring to rob Rahad's house, Dirk also says, "That'll be enough to get the 'Vette fixed."

Goofs:

Equipe ou équipement visible: The shadow of first camera assistant Michael G. Riba falls on the side mirror of Scotty's Datsun as he sits in it, crying.

Guillemet:

Dirk: [as Brock] You still hungry?
Jessie St. Vincent: Starving.
[unzipping his pants]
Dirk: [as Brock] Then feast on that.

Another Academy snub!

This is not so much of a review as it is a testament that it has been proven, yet again, that the Academy rewards money, not artistic accomplishment. And I must say I am saddened that this usually artistic and intelligent band of imbd members have left this off the top 250. Boogie Nights is powerful, raw, and gutsy through script, direction and acting. Very few movies can claim this triple crown.
