Did You Know?

Trivia

The male Satanist is played, uncredited, by production designer Edward T. McAvoy. He got the part at the last minute, based largely on his resemblance to Anton LaVey, the director's first choice, who died in 1997. McAvoy had to shave his head completely bald for the scene. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When the art teacher, Roberta, is asking Enid to explain her Coon Chicken piece, she shifts from fumbling with her art book in the wide shot to having her arms spread away from the book in the close-up shot. See more »

Quotes

[as they leave the diner they see Seymour in his car getting cut up at an intersection by a big, jacked-up SUV. He screeches to a halt and shouts furiously]
Enid: Oh my god. It's him! He's insane.
Rebecca: We should follow him home.

Crazy Credits

After all the credits roll, there's another take of the scene where Seymour
(Steve Buscemi) gets attacked by Doug in the minimart. Only this time,
Buscemi's characer easily wins the fight, choking Doug with his own weapon,
and stomps out triumphantly. He finishes with a bunch of Mr. Pink type
dialogue. See more »
