    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      When Uncle Benny (Ned Beatty) talks to Ed Chilton (Steve Buscemi) on the porch swing, he is holding a June, 1992 edition of Esquire Magazine. The cover depicts then-President George Hubert Walker Bush, with the caption, "What Me Worry: How George Bush Went Mad In the White House."
    • Goofs
      Ed's mother's glasses as she jumps the fence.
    • Quotes
      • Rev. Praxton: Ed, I like to grease the highboard better than anyone and if it was just four or five guys, I'd have no problem with that, but when I come home and find her doing the two-back beast with the entire church council, well by God, that's going too far - especially since half the council is women! That's when I take a stand. That's when I'm counted as a man! That's when I throw my balls up over my shoulder and charge into the fire!
    • Crazy credits
      Found near the end of the credits about a character who died in a nasty way: Rob Sundheimer...dead but not forgotten.
