Trivia:

Jason Dohring and Ryan Hansen improvised a crude hand gesture widely known as "The Shocker" during the pool scene. While the act slipped by the censors, it was unable to be edited out of broadcast because Jason Dohring did the gesture for every take.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: When Veronica is talking to Weevil at the gas station, the film crew is reflected in Weevil's helmet. You can see the camera, a boom mic, and two large white reflectors set up behind the camera.

Quotes:

Wallace Fennel: Well, there's the Klan.
Veronica Mars: This is not really their M.O.
