Trivia

The movie does not fit into any known timeline of the show, and for unexplained reasons Trinity is played by another actress. Although events and moments from this movie are referenced later on in episodes and the other films I.e. a wedding photo of Ricky and Lucy, which is seen in Ray's boat in Countdown to Liquor Day.

Goofs

When Sonny shoots Ricky's car twice using a handgun, a bunch of Canadian Coins come flowing out. The handgun caliber, at most, is .45 of an inch. A Canadian Loonie is 26.5 mm, or just over an inch, as is a Canadian Toonie, at 28 mm. Thus, the coins are too wide to have ever come out of the hole made by the handgun bullet.

Quotes

Ricky: Can I please go to jail for a week to play hockey?

Saw the US Premier Last Night!

Attended the US premiere last night here in Austin, as part of the SXSW Film Festival. Got a pic taken with my Canadian wife, Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles, which should tell you what a dork I am.... :) Overall, I agree with the comments here that the movie is okay for long-time TPB fans, but is kind of a watered down version, probably meant to not snow over the initial viewer. Some good laughs, but I think I have laughed as much at some of the individual episodes, each of which are about 30% the length of this. That being said, I am sure I will add the DVD to my collection.

In the Q&A after, the question was asked, "when can we see more TPB in the States?" I think Mike Clattenburg. was there answering, didn't pay much attention to the name when he was introduced, but the answer was that there simply is too much censorship here. He referenced the one season they tried, on BBCA, and I remember that debacle. Too many bleeps to follow the dialog. But one thing that kind of amazed me is that amazon.ca was not mentioned as a source to get all of the DVDs. A lot of my fellow film-goers didn't know this either. It's not network, but it is available....

Bonus: All the attendees last night were given complementary key-chains by Mike C... Yay!!!
