Trivia

The title of this movie caused considerable amusement in Britain because "willy" is a word often used in families as a synonym in place of penis, and also used in adult company because it is less medical than penis and mildly less offensive than cock. Thus the exhortation Free Willy sounded more like "no charge for cock", or perhaps a cock freed of any garment. It was rumoured at the time that the UK distributors wanted the name of the movie changed but the studio bosses refused the request. [1][2]
