Did You Know?
Trivia: Bridget Moynahan was taller than the set designers thought. The bar above the counter was raised so she wouldn't hurt herself during dance scenes.

Continuity:
After Violet introduces herself to "Mr.O'Donnell" (Kevin) Kevin's boss comes out to yell at him. The boss leaves, slamming the door behind him, on a close up shot. Then the camera cuts to a two shot of Violet and Kevin, and you see Kevin's boss leaving (again!) in the background.
Quotes: Kevin:
What do you do when you realize all your dreams have come true? Violet:
Pay off old debts.
User Review
Coyote Ugly Was A "Feel Good" Film
Rating:
I was not disappointed with "Coyote Ugly". It made me feel good and we
need this kind of film these days with all that's going-on.It was no
worse than "Flashdance" or "Footloose" which also had little storyline
and average acting. I enjoyed it and it was what I had expected.Many of
you gave it negative criticisms; what did they expect from a film about
a young girl coming to the city? This was a simple story about a young
shy girl with dreams trying to make it in show business; which is hard
if you don't have the right connections.The dance numbers and bar scene
were very realistic. As a New Yorker, I was happy to see that she
wasn't mugged or worse as many films about New York portray.I'd like a
sequel.
