    • Trivia
      Shot entirely in 13 days.
    • Goofs
      When Dude lowers his head and uses his hair to make a grease slick at the skate park, his hair actually wipes up part the grease slick that it's supposed to be leaving behind (this is because the scene was actually shot with David Arquette running his head over an already-present grease slick).

      Nixer: [holds up a French fry on a toothpick] Looky here, J.T. From here

      [point at French fry]

      Nixer: to eternity

      [points away from it]

      Nixer: is the time before I was born. And from here

      [point to the other side of the French fry]

      Nixer: to eternity

      [points away from it]

      Nixer: is the time after I die. This...

      [points to the length of the French fry]

      Nixer: is the only time I get... to do it.

      J.T.: [grabs the French fry] You ain't doing nothing. You're gonna spend the rest of your days in this little town...

      [dips French fry around in ketchup on Nixer's plate]

      J.T.: and you're gonna die here... with one of my burgers in your hand.

      [eats the French fry]

      J.T.: And that's it.

    one line summary
    This movie is just nuts. It's a true original. It has so many little things that are just stupid and seem to have no point, but is ultimately tied together as a serious drama, which is really weird. Even movies that defy convention conform to some rules, but this is just all over the map and I love it. The bald girl losing her wig was both puzzling and hilarious both times it happened. It makes you wonder why such a ridiculously juvenile comedic device was used in such inappropriate circumstances, and I guess that may well be the whole point of it. It actually did hold together as a serious drama despite the odd tangents, which is all the more impressive.
