It rained so much during filming of The Tripper that director David Arquette, at the wrap party, gave each cast and crew member a personalized poncho. In fact, one of the few days it DIDN'T rain was when they shot the rain scenes. They had to make rain for these scenes.
Its title in Germany is "President Evil".
Arquette has said that despite political elements, his intention was never to further an agenda but to just make a "fun" movie.
When David Arquette did a panel for this film at the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con International, the footage he wanted to show was missing. He offered a reward of a car that was used in the movie for the return of the footage.
David Arquette, the director, showed up for a screening of this film in a fake-blood-spattered suit.
