Goofs:

Anachronisms: Although the list of deeds was supposedly created in the early 80s, there are a few deeds that don't seem to make sense to have existed since inception. "Steal a car worth more than $100K" seems unlikely, because the average cost of a new car in the 80's was $7200. It is also unlikely that the car dealership would have the same inflatable leprechaun or the lodge would have the same night watchmen for over 20 years. It was originally thought the list was created in the 70's, however this would put Duncan Rime in his fifties. In the film, he clearly was not that old.

Movie Connections:

References Fight Club (1999)

Porkys meets American Pie meets Cant Hadly Waite etc

It's end of High School year time and it's prank night!! Mix in porkys and all the other modern day high school movies and this is what you get.

It's about a guy who takes on the 10 dirty deeds, it hasn't been done for years and the last person to complete them all was about 13yrs ago and for the last bunch of years no one has tried and before that some only managed to do a few.

Has everything you expect, dorks, jocks, pot heads, white guys pretending to be black, house party thrown by a freshman trying to get in with the seniors, thick cops, boob shots, ditsy cheerleader types. and 10 pranks to be done by one guy All been done before and been done better, but still it's quite watchable.
