In Writing with Hitchcock (2001), Steven DeRosa noted that Hitchcock supervised them through every draft, asking that they tell the story visually. He told Roger Ebert in 1969: Once the screenplay is finished, I'd just as soon not make the film at all.
A drop kick is a type of kick in various codes of football. It involves a player dropping the ball and then kicking it when it bounces off the ground.
Drop kicks are still legal and worth the same as place kicks, 3 points for a FG and 1 point for a PAT. The last quick Kick I remember was probably 12 or 15 years ago, Elway did one for Denver in a game on 3rd down and pinned their opponent down on their own 3 or 4 yard line late in the game. Yeah Drop Kicks are still legal in football.
