    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Lone Rangers' hit single "Degenerated" is actually a song by 1980s punk group Reagan Youth.
    • Goofs
      When Rex suggests that the tape should be played on the air, Chazz replies it can't be done because the mixing console is busted. All radio stations, especially high profile ones (and even regional ones) have more than one broadcast booth, in most cases two (some with a third as a backup), so it would just be a matter of switching booths.
    • Quotes

      [Chazz and Rex are testing Chris]

      Chazz: Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

      Chris Moore: Lemmy.

      [Rex imitates a game show buzzer]

      Chris Moore: ... God?

      Rex: Wrong, dickhead, trick question. Lemmy *IS* God.

    • Alternate versions
      Aside from editing some language, the TV version changes one of the last scenes: when Rex is pelvic-thrusting and Chazz gestures "no no no", instead of a shot of a pair of prisoners grinning laciviously, the TV edit uses a shot of two prisoners staring confused at Rex.
