A portion of this film was shot in Stamford, Connecticut. The wedding scenes were filmed in an area of town called Cove on Dale Street. School scenes were shot at Abraham Lincoln High School in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn.
Richard Gere was originally cast in this movie but, after coming to blows with Sylvester Stallone, was given his walking papers by the director.
Set in 1958, the coming-of-age story follows four Brooklyn teenagers known as The Lords of Flatbush. The Lords chase girls, steal cars, play pool and hang out at a local malt shop. The film focuses on Chico (Perry King) attempting to win over Jane (Susan Blakely), a girl who wants little to do with him, and Stanley (Sylvester Stallone), who impregnates his girlfriend, Frannie (Maria Smith), who wants him to marry her.
