The director talks about the unpleasant collaboration with Kim Hackman
I've seen you allude in past interviews to how hard of a time Gene Hackman gave you on the film. How quickly did you realize he'd be a problem?
The first scene on the first day.
What happened?
We did a simple scene where Gene's character is driving to Hickory and he stops to get gas — it's a scene that never ended up in the movie. Gene's character and the gas -station attendant are talking about the town, and I shot the master. I was nervous, it was my first day, but the...

Rollin: [as Jimmy walks in on the town meeting that determines Coach Dale's fate] What can I do for you, Jimmy?
Jimmy Chitwood: I got something to say.
Rollin: All right, say what you've gotta say.
Jimmy Chitwood: [to crowd] I don't know if it'll make any change, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball.
George: [as crowd is cheering, points to Dale] I told you, once we got rid of him!
Jimmy Chitwood: But, there's just one thing... I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go.
George: [crowd starts murmuring] Uhhh, the coach is dismissed by a vote of 68 to 45...
Opal Fleener: I think we should vote again!

Rollin: ...Coach stays!

Coach Norman Dale: I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. These six individuals have made a choice to work, a choice to sacrifice, to put themselves on the line 23 nights for the next 4 months, to represent you, this high school. That kind of commitment and effort deserves and demands your respect. This is your team.
