Straw Dogs

Trivia: Dustin Hoffman didn't want to do this movie as he was not a fan of violent films. He later admitted that he only took up the role for the money.

Trivia: The British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) banned this film from being released on video/DVD from 1984 to 2002 due to its graphic violence and two brutal rapes.

Continuity mistake: When Dustin Hoffman drives into town at great speed, he swerves around a tractor going in the opposite direction. He parks the car and exactly one minute later the same tractor drives towards him from the middle of town and heads off up the same road it had already travelled. To accomplish this, it must have turned around and driven back to town at about 90 mph - about 5 times its normal top speed.
