    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      According to Steve Zahn on Couch Surfing (2018), the "COME ON AH YEEEEEEEH-HA!" line was from the middle of a Neil Diamond performance. Neil asked about that line, and they replied they were saying his words. Neil didn't believe this and they had him listen to the part of his performance and he realized he did say that.

      Wayne: Okay, our enemy is wicked, so...

      J.D.: Dude, she's Freddy Krueger.

      Wayne: Damien.

      J.D.: Dude, she's Vader.

      Wayne: No! She is the Emperor!

      J.D.: Yeah, but with really great tits!

      Wayne: Okay, now Sandy, that girl? She's a nice girl.

      J.D.: Ah, yeah.

      Wayne: She's a sweetheart.

      J.D.: Dude, a saint.

      Wayne: A goddess.

      J.D.: A princess.

      Wayne: 'Know what? She's kinda like Mother Teresa.

      J.D.: Yeah, but with way better tits.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end there is a concert with Neil Diamond and all the actors and the end titles.
    • Alternate versions
      The R-rated cut includes about four minutes of added footage, consisting mainly of two scenes: one in a Subway restaurant where JD is showing his trainees to his boss, and another in a laundromat where Darren and Sandy are drying their clothes after falling in the water. Also, three uses of the word "fuck" are added, among other dialogue. Also, the scene with the hookers playing ping-pong has them topless, rather than wearing the bras they had in the PG-13-rated theatrical cut.

    R-rated version review!
    I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters and I loved it. Then a few days ago, I rented the R-rated version of this movie and laughed even more than I did during the PG-13 version. I have had a lot of my friends say that this movie sucked and then I'd show them the R-rated version and they would quickly change their minds. Some of them rushed out of my house to go buy the R-rated version. I know that the rating shouldn't make the movie funnier, but it does. In my opinion, there is no such things as too racy when you are trying to make people laugh. That is what the R-rated version does. It has tons of added racy footage that makes the film funnier because it makes me laugh more. I'm not saying that just being crude is funny, I'm saying that when the crude content is used right, it can be funny and it is funny here. I now own both the R-rated version and the PG-13 version and both of them make me laugh, yet it's the R-rated one that makes me laugh harder. Steve Zahn and Jack Black get more screen time in the R-rated version. It's a good thing too because I thought that the PG-13 version gave Amanda Peet and Jason Biggs way too much screen time. Now everyone gets a fair amount of screen time. It's better that way. It's also a better film that way.
