Trivia

The Family Media Guide claims the word "fuck" and its variations are used 224 times in this film, however other sources list the count at 560 which, until the release of Fuck was a record (the previous holder was Nil by Mouth which had a count of 470). See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The Chevrolet K5 Blazer that Wydell Drives is an '86 Model, but according to surroundings and other tell tale signs, the movie takes place in 1978. This can be proven when Officer Ray Mentions that Groucho Marx and Elvis Presley "died last year". See more »
