Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter seeing a rough cut of the film, Burt Reynolds regretted making it. He fired his agent for recommending the role to him, and did not participate in promotional interviews. Reynolds ended up winning a Golden Globe for the role, and being nominated for an Academy Award for his performance. Despite being a front runner for the latter, it was widely rumored that he did not win because he had distanced himself from the movie earlier.
- GoofsWhen Little Bill complains to Kurt about his wife having sex with other men, he says, "My fucking wife has an ass in her cock in the driveway, Kurt." Little Bill was supposed to say "My fucking wife has a cock in her ass in the driveway, Kurt", but the director loved the way the incorrect line showed how angry and flustered Bill was, and left the scene intact.
- Crazy creditsAs the credit for Robert Downey Sr. scrolls up the screen, the words "(a prince)" appear next to his name.
- Alternate versionsNew Line Platinum Edition, released on DVD, features 9 additional scenes not included in the original theatrical version. The sell through widescreen VHS tape also has the deleted scenes.

Featured review
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.
