Debbie Does Dallas is a famous 1978 pornographic movie starring Bambi Woods and Christie Ford (appearing under the name of Misty Winter). The plot of the film focuses on a team of cheerleaders attempting to earn enough money to send the title character to Dallas, Texas, to try out for the famous Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad. It had the fictional name "Cowgirls", but it was seen as a take on the real-life Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Each girl finds that she can make extra money during her afterschool job by having a sexual encounter with her employer.

Contrary to the title, the film is not set in Dallas nor does the titular Debbie "do" anyone in or from Dallas.

The opening scenes were shot at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York on the field west of the Quad and in the Roosevelt Hall locker room . Other scenes were shot at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, without the administration's knowledge or approval. The movie spawned a number of sequels and spin-offs including Debbie Does New Orleans and Debbie Does Wall Street. It has also been remade with contemporary porn stars.

In 2001 "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical" was created by Susan L. Schwartz for the New York Fringe Festival. In 2002 it was made into an Off-Broadway musical comedy. Unlike the original movie, the musical did not contain any actual sex or nudity, which caused some disappointment among people, as false hype had been made and the musical's producers did nothing to dismiss it. Since then, the show has been performed around the world, often with racier direction and more explicit choreography. The story, dialogue and characters are fairly faithful to the original film, with musical numbers standing in for sex scenes or added for comic effect.

In 2005 a documentary called Debbie Does Dallas Uncovered was produced and shown on British television.

In 2006, VCX employed Media Blasters to digitally re-master the movie from the original 35mm film into a "Definitive Collectors Edition" 2-Disc set on DVD. This latest revision has it's own unique packaging and hands down the best picture and audio quality of any Debbie Does Dallas release. The first disc contains the remastered feature, 2 audio commentaries (actress Robin Byrd & historian Charles Bernstene) and a few Raincoat Theater trailers. Disc two contains the cable TV version, an interview with actress Robin Byrd, the original Debbie Does Dallas trailer and a photo gallery.
