    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      According to Steve Zahn on Couch Surfing (2018), the "COME ON AH YEEEEEEEH-HA!" line was from the middle of a Neil Diamond performance. Neil asked about that line, and they replied they were saying his words. Neil didn't believe this and they had him listen to the part of his performance and he realized he did say that.
    • Goofs
      During several of the chase scenes at night, you can see lights from police cars which are, apparently, blocking traffic while the scene is being filmed.
    • Quotes
      • J.D.: Dude, if you get the nachos stuck together, that's one nacho.
    • Crazy credits
      At the end there is a concert with Neil Diamond and all the actors and the end titles.
    • Alternate versions
      The R-rated cut includes about four minutes of added footage, consisting mainly of two scenes: one in a Subway restaurant where JD is showing his trainees to his boss, and another in a laundromat where Darren and Sandy are drying their clothes after falling in the water. Also, three uses of the word "fuck" are added, among other dialogue. Also, the scene with the hookers playing ping-pong has them topless, rather than wearing the bras they had in the PG-13-rated theatrical cut.
