    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    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.

    • Quotes

      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.

    Unbelievable and Stupid but Funny
    This movie is incredibly unbelievable and incredibly stupid, but dont let that hold you back from really enjoying it. Jack Black and R. Lee Ermey are hilarious, as always. The plot is worthless and I would have been satisfied with just Black, Zahn, and Ermey on screen the whole time. Easily worth one good viewing, in the right mood, preferably intoxicated. An underrated triple-buddy gem.
