    Edit
    • Trivia
      Originally, the two leads (who appropriately spend the movie mixing up their own names) were cast the other way around.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the movie there are scenes where day suddenly changes to night and vice versa. This is a running gag of Tom Stoppard plays which often have "time jumps" written into the stage directions.
    • Quotes

      Rosencrantz: Do you think Death could possibly be a boat?

      Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is "not." Death isn't. Take my meaning? Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not be on a boat.

      Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats.

      Guildenstern: No, no... What you've been is not on boats.

    Brilliant tribute to a classic
    So I was sitting around watching TV on a Sunday afternoon... or

    trying too, anyway. Tragically there was nothing on... until my eye

    caught a title; Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. My inner- geek answered "well duh. Read the play didn't I?" Of course my

    inner geek is also curious as anything, so my geek and I turned

    the channel sat back and watched as two befuddled, goofy

    Shakespearian hooligans find themselves in Elsinor home of their

    loony friend Hamlet. Now don't get me wrong, the dialogue goes

    about 90 miles per hour, but the topics are Kevin Smith-like in their

    randomness and the relationship between these two classic

    characters also remind me of one Kevin would write. What's more the only way to know which is Rosencrantz and which

    is Guildenstern is to look on the credits. Even they sometimes

    aren't sure who's who. This movie is lightning fast and painfully

    clever, definitely not for the faint of heart or head, but if you've got it

    in you I *highly* recommend it.
