The first half-hour or so concerns the investigation by FBI Agent Chet Desmond into the murder of waitress Teresa Banks. The film then cuts to one year later and follows the events during one week in the life of Laura Palmer, a story which was later to motivate much of the series. Contains a considerable amount of sex, drugs, violence, very loud music and inexplicable imagery.

Lara Flynn Boyle did not reprise her TV role as Donna Hayward reportedly because of the nude scenes. She was replaced by Moira Kelly.
In most versions of the film certain sequences are sub-titled - at the nightclub where the music drowns out the dialogue and when characters speak backwards - but not in the British version. Apparently, director David Lynchchanged his mind so often as to whether they should be included or not, by the time he came to a final decision, the British distributors had already made all their prints (without subtitles) and couldn't afford to make any more.
Robert Engels claims the script that he and Lynch wrote is much longer than the version that Lynch actually filmed. He claims there is enough story for a sequel. Indeed, as with many other Lynch films, about five hours of footage was shot. Many of the scenes that ended up on the cutting room floor involved characters who appeared in the television series but not in the movie. These scenes include
* Sheriff Harry Truman singing to girlfriend Josie Packard
* Johnny Horne's birthday party
* Bobby Briggs' parents reading from the Bible
* Doc Hayward performing magic tricks
* a fight scene between FBI Agent Chester Desmond and Sheriff Cable.
The pattern on the floor of the Black Lodge is the same as the pattern on the floor of the lobby of Henry's house in Eraserhead (1977), also directed by David Lynch.
The movie originally ended showing Dale sitting in the Black Lodge, comforting Laura after she entered. It then cut to the last scene of the TV series, with Harry breaking down the door of the bathroom and finding Dale smashing his head into the mirror and laughing. Dale tries to act like nothing happened, but is dragged off to bed. This was to confirm that it was Dale's doppelganger that escaped the Black Lodge.
