    • Trivia
      This is the same hand that appears in the Addams Family (1991) as Thing played by magician Christopher Hart
    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      Anton: Hey, I didn't kill anyone on purpose, okay?

      Mick: Yeah, well, we weren't in hell! I mean, there was this bright white light at the end of a long tunnel, right, and there was these chicks' voices, and that music...

      Anton: Music?

      Pnub: Yeah, kinda uncool music, like, Enya. And these chicks' voices, they were saying, "come to us, come towards the light".

      Anton: So what happened?

      Mick: We figured, fuck it, I mean, it was really far!

    • Alternate versions
      The DVD contains the original ending, set in the school's gym pool. The producers and the director decided to shoot a different ending because the original ending was very different in its style of humour and horror and they thought it didn't fit into the film.

    Horrifiying and Hilarious!
    I rented "Idle Hands" and I have to say that it was a GREAT movie! It was kind of like "Scary Movie", but better! It was VERY funny!! Devon Sawa, Seth Green, Eldin Ratliff, and Jessica Alba were SPECTACULAR! This is a very funny/gorey movie. The acting is funny and great, and the directing is great! This is a smash-hit! I loved it! I highly recommend this film to horror fans and comedy fans for that matter! I give this film a perfect 10 out of 10!!!!!!! :)
