Quotes
Joey Rosselini:
You know, Gerald, I've dealt with niggers, kikes, pollacks, chinks, spics. God made it, I've seen it. But you fucking hillbillies, you are the dumbest that I've met!
Gerald Gates:
Go to Hell!
Joey Rosselini:
You know, Gerald, I gotta hand it to you, you got balls. Stupid as shit...
Goofs
Throughout the movie lines of dialogue are a mismatch for mouth movements. Especially for background characters, or main characters seen from oblique angles. Also, several scenes have acoustics mismatching the environment. For example dialogue in cars where the actors faces aren't visible, or the violin scene on the porch.
