    • Trivia
      This was Kurt Russell first Disney movie.
    • Goofs
      Lem takes Vida to the movies on their first date to see a Ronald Colman and Carole Lombard picture, but his dialogue is interrupted (conveniently) before he can name the movie title. In front of the theater the marquee shows the title of the feature, "Altar Bound", along with the two stars names. The movie "Altar Bound" however, appears to be fictional.

      Corporal: We don't think. That's for Officers.

    • Alternate versions
      The 1976 theatrical reissue was shortened by 10 minutes, as was the original home video. The DVD is of the complete, original version.

    Societal Values have Degenerated - Thank God the Boy Scouts Haven't!

    I've seen a couple of reviews decry this movie, 50 years after the fact, for poor values or "teaching the kids wrong things." That is the silliest thing I have seen. This movie was a good movie in 1966, and remains so fifty years later. The Scouts NEVER have changed their mission to help boys grow into upright men; America has decided for some reason that upright men are bad and that good values are bad.

    Too bad. In what remains of the real USA, men still are men, not women. The Scouts taught generations of boys how to be upright, forthright men. If that is bad, call this former Scout a bad man...and my sons...and my grandson.

    We are what holds this country together while the critics try to tear it apart. By the grace of God, that shall never happen.
