The guitar duel, apparently, was originally about 15 minutes long. It was edited to the last 2 minutes or so to heighten the impact of the scene. Guitar heads may be upset, but obviously it was a good call dramatically.
The barn that Ralph Machio and the girl are in was bought from my great grandmother Eva Deaton. I believe she was paid $1000 for the barn. They came and took the barn piece by piece and moved it to where they wanted it. They then put it back together just as it was in her back yard. I think it is neat to know that I use to play in that same barn, just on different soil.
