Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kroger Babb invented the 'four-wall' distribution system, renting theaters himself and keeping 100% of profits—essentially creating independent exploitation cinema as we know it.
The film played continuously for 23 years and grossed an estimated $80 million—roughly $1 billion today—making it one of the most profitable films ever made, despite critics calling it 'the cheapest thing on the screen.'
