Trivia

The "dust" in the vent was made out of walnut powder, even though the crew had received a memo saying that Kal Penn is extremely allergic to nuts. Production had to be stopped for the day that they shot the scenes with Kumar falling out of the vent in the police station while Kal Penn had to go to the hospital. The powder was then remade with chocolate powder for the next round of shooting. (from DVD commentary) See more »

Goofs

Errors in geography: At the gas station, a "Country Style" donuts sign is visible on the outside. This is a Canadian chain of donut stores which would not be in New York/New Jersey. Other Canadian stores such as Shoppers Drug Mart and Chapters (a bookstore) can also be seen. See more »
