    • Trivia
      The Lone Rangers' hit single "Degenerated" is actually a song by 1980s punk group Reagan Youth.
    • Goofs
      The sign outside of the station lists the broadcast frequency as 103.6. FM radio stations in America always use odd numbers for their broadcast frequencies. However, like the infamous '555' telephone exchange, this is deliberate use of fictitious numbering.
    • Quotes

      [Chazz and Rex are testing Chris]

      Chazz: Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

      Chris Moore: Lemmy.

      [Rex imitates a game show buzzer]

      Chris Moore: ... God?

      Rex: Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy *IS* God.

    • Alternate versions
      Aside from editing some language, the TV version changes one of the last scenes: when Rex is pelvic-thrusting and Chazz gestures "no no no", instead of a shot of a pair of prisoners grinning laciviously, the TV edit uses a shot of two prisoners staring confused at Rex.

    I ain't farting on no snare drum.
    For years everyone told me that Brendan Fraser movies were bad and this movie proves they all lied.Weirdly,people always say that Adam Sandler movies are always great yet this is the only one that really is,and Sandler has a tiny part.This movie is just awesome.It's funny and has a great story with lots of cameos,Lemmy,Kramer,Stuttering John,Chris Farley and tons more.The one thing that doesn't really make sense is that it's a decade late and no one ever noticed.They are a very 1984 band in a 1994 movie.Hair metal was long dead by 1994,MTV was playing Rancid,not Winger.If you're into those terrible Sandler movies where he crams in all his friends and nothing funny ever happens,you might not like this movie but you will see why he keeps making work for Steve Buscemi.This is one of the best movies ever.
