Production
- A large portion of the movie was filmed in Corpus Christi and Flour Bluff, Texas including the Sunrise Mall and several locations along South Padre Island Drive.
- In the movie, Billie Jean and the others watch a movie about Joan of Arc. The movie is Saint Joan (1957).
- The radio station shown and heard throughout the film still exists in Corpus Christi, Texas as KNCN "C101".
- The original title of the film was Fair is Fair. It was changed to The Legend of Billie Jean after test audiences did not respond to the original. Shortly before release, the title was changed back to Fair is Fair and then back to The Legend of Billie Jean. Movie posters exist with the Fair is Fair title, however they are really an applied overlay over the originally printed title The Legend of Billie Jean, and that title is what appears in the printed credits at the bottom of the poster.
- The Vermont scenes were filmed in Colorado. Billie Jean and Binx are seen at a gas station just off Interstate 70, near Copper Mountain.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
