Trivia

When Enid came to visit Seymour, he is wearing blue jeans, a present from his date Dana. Those pair of pants also appear earlier on, laying on a sidewalk, and are missing when Enid walks back home from Seymour's. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Enid rips open the wrapper of the champagne/sparkling wine there is no metal wire around the cork. There is always a metal wire (because of the pressure that is inside the bottle). See more »

Quotes

Melorra: Oh my god, you guys, I can't believe we made it!
Enid: [Deadpan] Yeah. We graduated high school. How totally amazing.

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 »
