Trivia

When Kyle is talking to Will while he is playing darts, the veins/scarring on his back spell out 'ugly'. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Will refers to a 1954 movie "Devil Girl from Mars," saying that it is about an alien that wanted to abduct teenage girls for breeding stock. The actual movie Devil Girl from Mars has a female alien abducting men for breeding stock. See more »
