Curiosidades
The German Shepherd in the film was Larry Cohen's own dog, and the red sweater sported by Yaphet Kotto in latter portions of the movie was also Cohen's--which Kotto then took and never gave back.

Citas
The Girl: Do you have a mistress?
Bill: No. Too much time, too demanding - a lot of work keeping it a secret, you know. Rides, and motel rooms...
The Girl: How do you like your meat? Don't tell me - medium.
Bill: While all that energy could be better put to use by expanding profits, getting ahead... instead of laid and alone. You're always alone afterwards, you know? Try to put something of yourself into it. But afterwards, lying there, it all seems so... fucking impersonal. What could be new? People have been doing it for millions of years - Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians - what can be new? What makes it ME doing it? It could be anybody doing it with anybody else, so unless you put some little bit of PERVERSION of your own to make it special - but suppose you're not a pervert?
The Girl: Oh, you could learn.

Versiones alternativas
The original UK cinema release of Bone (and its video release) lost 3 minutes, and was missing the end of the scene where Bill (Andrew Duggan) presents a car advertisement (we don't see Bill looking into the cars and seeing that they are filled with dead bodies) and the end section of Bill's conversation with a woman in a bar. It seems these cuts were made by the distributor.

One of the strangest films of its era...about a couple that has 'issues'.

"I'm a big black buck just doin' what's expected of him!"

"Bone" is one of the stranger films of the 1970s and is one I am not 100% sure I liked...but at least it was original! It begins with a couple rich folks, Bill and Bernadette (Andrew Duggan and Joyce Van Patten) relaxing by the pool. Soon a black man, Bone (Yaphet Kotto), arrives and the couple assume he's an exterminator or handyman coming to clear the rat out of the pool. Instead, after taking care of the rat, he sticks around...and threatens to rob them and rape the missus unless her husband returns from the bank with a ransom. The husband goes to the bank but changes his mind and goes off on some very strange adventures with a lady screaming about x- rays as well as a bizarro woman who wants to replicate her rape as a child...with Bill! As for Bernadette, despite Bone acting all rapey, it soon becomes apparent he isn't going to rape her and she is disappointed. Yes, I know this is very politically incorrect and some feminists would be offended by this notion. Soon, she realizes her husband is NOT bringing back ransom money...and the story gets even weirder. The finale is strange....and not 100% satisfying.

This film was written, produced and directed by Larry Cohen--a guy known for blackspoitation films like "Hell Up in Harlem" and "Black Caesar" (both excellent movies, actually). I would NOT consider this blacksploitation at all...but it does bring up a lot of race issues and the white folks are nasty hypocrites like you might see in a blacksploitation flick. In fact, the film is more a commentary about the banality of the upper class and their lack of ethics, values and souls. A very weird film...and one that bears re- watching simply because it's hard to determine exactly what Cohen is trying to say!!

By the way, you might be surprised to see quite a bit of Joyce Van Patten in this film. Despite her image as a 'nice girl' in films and being the sister of Dick Van Patten, here she shows some nudity and the film definitely has some very adult themes.
