Trivia:

In the scene where Rabbit is stuffed in a locker covered in shaving creme, he is actually covered in menthol shaving creme. The crew was unaware that menthol burns your skin if left on too long, so after the scene, Erik Stolhanske was sent next door to a firehouse to get hosed off.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the troopers are watching the video, Ramathorn passes a joint to his right. He's still holding it in the next shot.

Quotes:

[first lines]
College Boy 2: No, man, I'm just saying... I'm sayin', if-if you own beachfront property, right, do you own, like, the sand and the water?
College Boy 3: Nobody owns the water. God owns - it's God's water.

Realistic Comedy Classic

This movie was hysterical! The way they joked around with each other was so true to life! It wasn't unrealistic at all! Anybody who sees this will have to agree that there is at least one character in the film that reminds them of one of their buddies! I know it sure reminded me of the guys that hang around me! We just saw the movie this evening on IFC in widescreen, without commercials, and unedited. I am very happy I waited to see it this way instead of a TNT, TBS, USA, or FOX broadcast version. I am definitely getting this movie on DVD as soon as possible! The outtakes and behind the scenes features are probably fantastic!
