the actor playing the priest is malachy mccourt,a rather famous irishman and i guess his accent is legit.i'm not sure where cunningham was going with some of his story lines==the girl disguised as a boy ogling the other boys in the shower seems a bit creepy--after his baseball movie,"here comes the tigers" and then this soccer movie,who'd have thought that mr.cunningham would make such a gory and rather nihilistic movie like "friday the 13th"?? still,i was impressed that a total unknown,at least in 1977,could get famous soccer players and a known celebrity like mccourt to appear in his film...not bad for an early effort and a low budget
