The "Puget Sound Deb's," the name coined for the girls who pursue the young naval officers-in-training are actually representative of what has been famously coined by rapper Sir-Mix-A-Lot as "Bremaloe's." A "Bremaloe" is a young girl from Bremerton, Washington (home of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard) with the same career goals as a "Puget Sound Deb."Rewind Archive

A mid-season 1978 750cc T140 Triumph Bonneville is the motorcycle that Richard Gere rides in the film. T140s were supplied to London (UK) cinemas for display in foyers, although it did no good for the old Triumph firm which folded in 1983 ! He switched to it's 650 cc T120 predecessor in the film, 'Mr Jones'.Rewind Archive

Many shows have parodied the end scene of this movie, including most notably "The Simpsons" in the episode where Marge has to choose between her bowling coach and Homer. It is hysterical, right down to the instrumental music of "Up Where We Belong".Thanks to Chuck Ballenger
