Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Luke Perry trained for months and actually rode bulls; the fear in his eyes? Method acting, baby. Stephen Baldwin broke his collarbone during filming.
This film single-handedly made bull riding briefly cool for mainstream America in 1994. Garth Brooks' 'The Dance' plays during the credits and absolutely nobody survives emotionally.
