The Girl in Gold Boots/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: The dune buggy ride.
  • Ear Worm: o/` Instead of Christmas carols, I yodel-dee all day. o/`
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: "Only a couple of people pack [guns] in this city, and most of 'em are cops!" Hehe, sure, Leo, no one's packing heat in Los Angeles.
    • Buz's pill-popping sister bears an uncanny resemblance to Amy Winehouse, but this could also go straight to Harsher in Hindsight after her death, even if the "I HAD A PRETTY MIIIIIIND!" scene is a prime slice of Narm.
  • Narm: I had a pretty MIIIIIIIIIND!
    • A close second:

Michele: I'm here to be a DANCER!

  • Rule-Abiding Rebel: Critter is a hippie who's planning to turn draft dodger, but ultimately decides to report for duty after beating up the mob goons at the bar.
    • To be fair to the film, this is because somebody has to report on the corruption of this mob bar and, by reporting to the police, Critter won't be able to run anymore. He's a rebel, not a criminal.
  • Special Effects Failure: The above mentioned "teleporting."
    • That's not a special effect. Film jumps happen like that when the film breaks and is manually taped back together, missing frames.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Special mention must be given to Critter's decision to confront known drug dealer and all around thug Leo, tell them he knows about their criminal activity and he's leaving.
  • Values Dissonance: Critter becoming a draft dodger for the Vietnam War is treated (at least by himself) as being an unforgivable act which will put him on the FBI's Most Wanted list. Although the draft was unpopular, the movie was filmed in 1968, when draft dodgers were prosecuted if discovered. Eventually President Gerald Ford offered conditional amnesty to persons who had dodged the draft, with President Jimmy Carter giving an unconditional pardon to all draft dodgers in 1977. This makes Critter's treatment of draft-dodging as such a horrible crime seem a little strange from a modern perspective.
