Trivia
(Differences Between Book and Movie)
The movie is set in the 90s and is about white-collar girls; the book is set in the 50s and is about blue-collar girls. This really has an effect on the meaning of the movie because in the book this is so relevant to why they formed the gang in the first place. In the book it was their mutual distrust of adults and particularly men--due to their past experiences--that united them. In the movie, it was just one event of revenge on an abusive male that united them, and their bond in the movie is much less strong than in the book.
In the movie, the name FOXFIRE is never mentioned. There is a scene in which "FOXFIRE BURNS & BURNS" is spray painted on a wall, but they never declare a name for themselves or say that they're a gang. In the book the girls' identity as FOXFIRE is vitally important to them; it's who they are.
The movie takes place over a few weeks or so (it's hard to tell), but the book spans more than three years.
There's no character named Lana in the movie; in the book there is. It's easy to see why they took her out, though, because Lana is not very important to the story, despite the fact that she's one of the founding members.
In the book the FOXFIRE sisters are violently forbidden from dating guys, whereas in the movie it's perfectly acceptable.
In the movie, Goldie is a mostly-quiet but rebellious girl--and when she says something, it's usually mean; in the book Goldie is a tough, loud, angry girl who no one likes to mess with.
In the movie, Violet is promiscuous; in the book she's just really beautiful with lots of guys after her.
