- Apex Mountain is defined as a person or thing at the peak of its powers and popularity.
- Travolta's apex is Grease, perhaps one week after it opened, following this film; a couple of points come off because Grease was an existing musical.
- With an Olivia Newton-John-caliber co-star this film would have been different.
- Karen Lynn Gorney gets a yes, since she did not act for 14 years afterward, downgraded to Apex Hill.
- For old Brooklyn as a pop-culture location, the Travolta TV show is picked over this film and The Warriors, partly for its credits.
- This is Apex Mountain for the Brooklyn Bridge, with Woody Allen as the only competitor.
- 1977, disco (revived by the film despite worries it was too late, and criticized for whitewashing), and the director are all affirmed.
- Dysfunctional Italian family dinners are a permanent apex that never goes away, as in Goodfellas.
- The guys in the movie, Barry Miller, Paul Pape and the actor transcribed as Joseph Kelly, were definitely at their apex.
