Trivia
In the "never go full retard" scene, Kirk cites Peter Sellers performance in Being There (1979) as a good example of how to avoid missing out on an Oscar by going "full retard", as opposed to Sean Penn in I Am Sam (2001). In reality, Sellers was only nominated for Being There (1979), just like Penn for I Am Sam (2001).
Quotes
Alpa Chino:
Drink Booty Sweat, baby! Drink Booty Sweat!
Kirk Lazarus:
Yeah, get him chuggin' on some of Alpa's ass-water. That'll bring him around, it's a cure-all...
Goofs
While Lincoln Osiris is supposed to be a sergeant, the only insignia he wears on his uniform are 2 corporals chevrons on his left collar. Sergeants should have at least 3 chevrons.
Crazy Credits
Tom Cruise (as Les) dances and the end credits start. Scenes from the movie are mixed in.
Alternate Versions
There is a director's extended cut which is available on the 3-disc special edition in the UK which contains more footage - runtime of overall film is 116 minutes on back of DVD case.
