Wissenswertes
George Lucas, inspired by Francis Ford Coppola's Der Pate 2 (1974) wanted to make his sequel darker and more complicated. Writer and director Bill Norton thought that cutting between four different time frames would be too jolting for most of the audience and also didn't like the various film formats used for each of the four storylines. Years later, Lucas would admit that Norton was right.

Patzer
Toad is a helicopter pilot, wearing the appropriate rank of a warrant officer, yet he is treated as a low-ranking enlisted man who takes orders from the First Sergeant and is placed on details for enlisted men. Normally, this would not be the case, as a warrant officer outranks a First Sergeant, and therefore would not carry out such tasks. Additionally, Toad's poor vision would have most-likely precluded him from being a helicopter pilot in the first place.

Terry the Toad holds the rank of a CW2 Chief Warrant Officer. The Sergeant berating him about latrine duty is a Staff Sergeant, not a Sergeant First Class. Also, US Army helicopter pilots are allowed to wear glasses as long as their vision is correctable with glasses to 20/20.

Zitate
Terry 'The Toad' Fields: Oh, come on, look at me, I'm a free man! The war is over, and I win!

Crazy Credits
The current whereabouts of the characters are shown during the movie's final scene.

Alternative Versionen
The original epilogue, similar to American Graffiti (1973)'s ending, revealing the fate of the primary characters, states that the Bolanders (Ron Howard and Cindy Williams) divorced a couple of years later. A newer version has no mention of a separation but, instead, states that Laurie works in Community Service.

What can I say?

There was no way More American Graffiti was going to be a great film. It was following up one of the most popular movies of the 70's. George Lucas was barely involved in the production. It had a messed up story that took place on 4 seperate New Years Eves. Considering all the things working against it, I suppose it's not all that bad. There are some great scenes, but there's also an equal amount of bad scenes. John Milner's story is fairly entertaining. Toad's Vietnam story is a lot of fun to watch. But the other two stories are mediocre at best. I guess you can say half of the movie works, and the other half doesn't. Parts of the film are very funny. The highlights being Toad's attempts to get out of the Vietnam War, and Harrison Ford's cameo as a traffic cop. As a huge fan of the original American Graffiti, I got some enjoyment out of seeing all the characters again. But for most people, More American Graffiti will probably feel like a waste of time.
