Although the cast members were warned against mixing with the college students, one night, some girls invited several of the cast members to a fraternity party; assuming the invitation had been made with the knowledge of the fraternity, the actors arrived and were greeted with open hostility. It was obvious the group was not welcome, and as they were leaving, Widdoes threw a cup of beer at a group of drunk football players and a fight "like a scene from the movie" broke out. Tim Matheson, Bruce McGill, Peter Riegert, and Widdoes narrowly escaped, with McGill suffering a black eye and Widdoes getting several teeth knocked out.
