Lee Evans' British accent in the movie was characterized by a film critic as "quite possibly the worst fake British accent in a movie" he had ever heard. Lee Evans is in fact British. However the accent he used in this film was overly exaggerated for the role. See more »
Goofs
When Healy is trying to revive the dog, he pulls two wires out of the table lamp and taps them together to make sure there is power. Letting hot and neutral wires touch as Healy did would cause a short-circuit and blow the fuse or trip the main breaker, potentially shutting everything in the living room off, and preventing Healy from zapping the dog.

Alternate Versions
To receive a PG rating the Singapore version was very heavily censored. It runs 6 minutes less then the original version. By MPAA standards it would probably get a PG-13 at most. Here are just a few of the many things that are censored in this version:
All profanities have been dubbed over.
In the bathroom scene when the construction worker says "Hoooly Sh*t!" and then we get a look at Ted's genitals caught in the zipper is cut out.
The scene where Pat Healy spies on Mary we do not see Magda's old saggy breast. Instead when Pat pulls out his big binoculars it just pans back to Mary putting her shirt on.
The masturbation scene is completely cut out of the film. But we still see Don talk to him about and convince him to masturbate before the scene and we see the "Hair Gel" result.

Insanely off the wall comedy from the Farrelly Brothers that delivers from start to finish. Wonderful early sequence with Keith David as Diaz's father busting heavily braced Stiller's chops. Stiller's zipper scene goes down as one of the funniest and most painful things I have ever witnessed on film. Diaz is divine the woman of Stiller's dreams...Dillon is hired to find Diaz...He falls in love with her and gives Stiller a bum story... Lee Evans, a pizza boy, is in love with her too... then Brett Favre comes into the picture. Every scene has something memorable from Dillon's attempts at reviving a dog to Stiller's "pre date entertainment." A classic that doesn't take itself too seriously.
