“The next sequence features Ray Nitschke of the Green Bay Packers professional football team. Peter is confronted in the trenches by ‘something’ that fills him full of fright. At first, you don’t know what it is — but you know by looking at Peter’s face that it must be the horror to end all horrors! As it turns out, the ‘horror’ is great big Ray — who flattens Peter with a running tackle! When director Robert Rafaelson yells ‘Cut!’ to this scene, Peter hops up and gives Ray a great big kiss! It’s so incongruous that it’s funny, and you secretly hope that this bit of ‘business’ will be kept in the film.” - 16 Magazine, June 1968

“[M]y personal belief is that Bob [Rafelson] is an evil-minded man. He likes to bring people down. Bob was often unsupportive as a human being and distinctly negative — and I was on the short end of that. There’s one example [in the film] — where Ray Nitschke, the football player, keeps hitting me. He was a Hall of Famer for the Green Bay Packers. He’s doing his best to hit me but not to give it all he’s got because if he does, I’m a squashed bug. So this guy’s one of the toughest men in football, he’s coming at me and I’m scared [but] figure it’s good to be scared because that’s what an actor should do. But Bob goes: ‘Ha, ha! Look at Peter! He’s scared! Ha, ha!’ I was just about the kick him in the balls. It was like, For fuck’s sake, Rafelson! You’re making fun of me ‘cos I’m scared? How do you think that’s going to affect the quality of your movie, pal? I was so angry! That’s the style in which he damaged what could have been a fulfilling quality experience.” - Peter Tork, MOJO, June 2002
