Quotes
Vic:
Ramona and I haven't eaten all day. We could eat a baby's butt through a park bench.
Goofs
As Vic and Ramona pull away in Earl's car near the end of the film (at the 1 hour 26 minute mark), a set light can be seen reflected in the rear side window.
Alternate Versions
The movie's original cut had a very dark ending with Earl getting killed, but the studio re-edited the film with a happy ending with Earl leaving home and joining Vic and Ramona on their adventures.
