Movie plot holes

That’s what would have happened THEN in real life, too.

 

Eh, perhaps, perhaps not. Early 1980s community of which football is the be-all and end-all of the town’s existence and the coach is almost equivalent to God, as long as he wins? They’d see making the kid walk as a character-building exercise and an appropriate punishment for daring to question the coach’s authoritah.

 

i thought Cruise/Steph had to ride home with the band/cheerleaders? I could be honestly conflicting it with that actually happening with older brother’s football team during those same years.

 

I might be misremembering too, but I thought the coach kicked Cruise off and told him the bus was only for members of the team, and Cruise tried to ride with the cheerleaders, but the cheerleading bus left before he could board.

 

Just going to add that I apparently only saw the “edited for television” version up until a few years ago. Never knew Leah Thompson did full nudity in the sex scene.
