    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While shooting scenes in the butcher shop, Nancy Travis was distracted by Mike Myers's antics and accidentally cut off the tip of her middle finger on her left hand when chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife. Travis kept shouting "Cut! Cut! Cut!" which she meant literally, although the crew initially thought she was referring to the term for stopping the shooting of a scene. A local doctor sewed it back on.

      In the Alcatraz scene cells are shown with swing doors, some of which are open. All of the cells in Alcatraz have sliding doors.
    • Quotes

      Stuart Mackenzie: I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! Now that was offside, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pillow.

    • Alternate versions
      An alternate take is used for the USA TV version: When Phil Hartman's character is telling his story in the jail, he refers to the prisoner's victim as a "girlfriend" instead of the more profane "bitch" used in all other versions.

    My favorite movie
    This has been my favorite movie since it came out. I watched it twice and thought it was O.K., then I started to really get it. Every time I watched it, I caught more jokes. I know nearly every line by heart, I have seen it so many times. I am not a nerd, or some crazy person. Just someone who appreciates hilarious movies. The best scene is when Charlie's father (Mike Myers) tells Tony (his best friend) about the "secret society". I laugh to the point of tears at that part. I still can't help but say "Fine. Go. You've stayed your hour." every time someone leaves my home. It's just the perfect, crazy ending to a visit, isn't it? Brilliance, Mike Myers. Brilliance.

    FAQ3

    • How is Charlie able to buy haggis if rom the butcher? I thought haggis was banned in America.
    • What is the point of the visit to the prison on that island? It added nothing to the movie.
    • Is this movie based on a novel?
