    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Seth Rogen originally wrote the part of Saul Silver for himself to play. It wasn't until the table read that he realized James Franco would be funnier in the role of Saul.
    • Goofs
      The foot-hole in the windshield suddenly, inexplicably, changes sizes from small and jagged, to larger and more rounded.
    • Quotes

      Saul: Let's roll, man! I'm done with the woods! Let's go! C'mon, man, let's get the fuck outta here!

      Dale Denton: [sarcastically] Okay... Uhh let's go... No... It's not working... the battery's dead.

      Saul: Wait...! What do you mean, it's dead?

      Dale Denton: [laughing] What do I mean? I mean the battery's dead. The battery's dead!

      Saul: No, no! What do you mean, the battery's dead?

      Dale Denton: How can I explain this to you differently? The battery is dead. It ceased to live. It's deceased now. The car needs a battery to start, Saul.

      Saul: [frustrated sigh] How did this happen?

      Dale Denton: Well we clearly fell asleep with the battery on and-...

      Saul: Aw, man... Talk radio?

      Dale Denton: Yes, talk radio.

      Saul: So boring, man! The car just committed suicide.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with the 1960's wide screen Columbia Pictures logo.
    • Alternate versions
      For its UK cinema release the film was pre-cut by the distributors to remove a scene showing teenagers smoking a strong form of marijuana in order for the film to receive a '15' certificate. The footage was restored for the DVD and the certificate raised to '18'.

    Too Vile, Too Racy, Too Brutal...Loved It.
    I went into this thinking I was going to see a drugged up Superbad, let's be honest a lot of Apatow Productions aren't very diverse. This really took a step away from the everyday new generation comedy and did something a little different. This movie just felt like an action all the way, if that's what they were going for then bravo. Of course it had more drug use than most movies, but hey it's Seth Rogan, what did you expect.

    The actions scenes were not only original, funny, and different, they were entertainingly brutal. This movie does have a lot of gore, but it is used in the best sense. As far as James Franco, I have never been a fan. I thought he was kind of over the top in Spiderman, I haven't really liked him in any other movies, but I loved him in this, in my own opinion he should stick to comedy.

    The only reason I gave this a 7 out of 10 is because as I was writing this I more and more felt like it was one of those movies that will get old if you watch it too much. Don't get me wrong, I was highly entertained, but I don't think I want to see it TOO much.

    Overall though...Seth Rogan you've done it again.
