Short description

The adventures of a group of Texas teens on their last day of school in 1976, centering on student Randall Floyd, who moves easily among stoners, jocks and geeks. Floyd is a star athlete, but he also likes smoking weed, which presents a conundrum when his football coach demands he sign a "no drugs" pledge.

What's left behind the scenes

The name of Matthew McConaughey's company, JKL Productions, comes from Wooderson's motto, "Just Keep Livin'."
Pink's belt buckle is a real smoking pipe.
The song Milla Jovovich plays on the guitar is an excerpt from a song on her 1994 album, "The Divine Comedy."
In October 1992, Milla Jovovich married Sean Andrews, whom she met on the set of the film. They divorced a month later.
The people who served as the prototypes for Slater, Wooderson, and Floyd sued director Linklater in 2004, accusing him of invasion of privacy.
Milla Jovovich (who played Michelle) appears on the posters, but almost all scenes with her character were cut from the film. Jovovich was so upset by this that she decided to take a break from her acting career and focus on music. Jovovich returned to acting when Luc Besson cast her in the lead role in the science fiction action film “The Fifth Element” (1997). In this film as well, her screen time was limited to two minutes.
When Wiley Wiggins was cast as Mitch Kramer, he lied about his ability to play baseball, and specifically to pitch. Director, screenwriter, and producer Richard Linklater had to find a stunt double for the actor and film him from the back in the corresponding scenes.
During filming, Ben Affleck (who played Fred O'Bannon) injured himself with a cricket bat, but he finished filming the scene.
Matthew McConaughey's company, JKL Productions, is named after Woodson's motto, “Just Keep Livin’.”
