Did you know
• Reportedly, director Rene Daalder was so upset with the film's musical score that he did not watch his own movie in its entirety for three decades after its release.
• With the exception of the school dance towards the end of the film, no adults are ever seen in the film.
• Derrel Maury said the script reminded him of Lord of the Flies in that there were no adults and the children that are being repressed, when their oppressors are taken out, they start, one by one, filling in their empty shoes. They assumed the same human characteristics while jockeying for new social positions.
