    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      It was on the set of this film that Harry Jay Knowles first got wind of Peter Jackson making The Lord of the Rings into a movie. He urged Elijah Wood to go for it even though the actor had never read the book. Which Wood duly did, ignoring the news that Jackson was largely casting British actors and videotaped his own audition.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 26 mins) When Marybeth asks Stokely how the book Invasion of the Body Snatchers ends, Stokely replies, "They get us. They win. We lose." But actually the book ends with the aliens giving up because they had underestimated the human desire for survival.
    • Quotes
      • Stokely: I'm not putting that hack drug up my nose - it's so eighties!
      • Zeke: Aliens are taking over the earth. Weigh it!
    • Crazy credits
      During the cast pictures at the end, the science teacher who was 'killed' in the film is shown very much alive with a patch over his eyes and bandages over his fingers.
    • Alternate versions
      The original uncut version of the film included a character named Venus (played by Kidada Jones) who was in about five scenes. All her scenes were cut. She is shown in some TV previews for the film, as well as Faculty/Tommy Hilfinger ads and commercials. She is also visible in a scene in the theatrical version, standing next to Gabe (Usher) in Mr Furlong's (Jon Stewarts) science class when they are looking at the "new species" in the aquarium.
