Trivia

Nordic Alien Dudes #1 and #2 are very similar to Rolf, Egon, and Arnold: Soldiers #1, #2, and #3 on the movie Mannequin: On the Move (1991), a movie on which Kristy Swanson also appeared. There is a mannequin in this movie.

Goofs

When Tania the transsexual stripper talks to Jesse and Chester the road in the background is dry, when the cops pull up the ground is wet. It's true that cinematographers love wet roads, but there has been no rain.

Lighten up, people!

"Dude" is by no means an intelligent movie, nor does it want to be one. However, it is treated as one by the public. If you don't like stupid movies, why did you go see it anyway!? I mean, personally, I love stupid movies. American Pie, Idle Hands, Evolution- all genius. But if you see any of them thinking you are going to get an intelligent comedy the problem lies within you and your lack of a sense of humor.

Or maybe you're just too old.
