Trivia:

Jim Carrey was initially offered $700,000 to appear in the film. However, the offer went in the same week that "Ace Ventura Pet Detective" opened at number 1 at the US box office, so by the time Carrey's agents had renegotiated with the film's producers, his salary had upped itself to $7 million, almost half the film's budget.

Goofs:

Continuity: The position of Harry's glass of cola when laughing at the diner.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Lloyd: Excuse me. Could you tell me how to get to the medical school? I'm supose to be giving a lecture in 20 minutes, and my driver's a bit lost.
