    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      As a show of support for Robert Downey Jr.'s recovery from alcohol and drugs, Val Kilmer refused to drink during the entire production.
    • Goofs
      When the camera zooms in on the newspaper article detailing the story about the film crew coming to the small town of Embry, Indiana to film a movie, the website www.embrystar.com is visible under the name of the newspaper. The article supposedly was written and published in 1982, eight years before the first website existed.
    • Quotes
      • Perry: My $2000 ceramic Vektor my mother got me as a special gift. You threw in the lake next to the car. What happens when they drag the lake? You think they'll find my pistol. Jesus. Look up "idiot" in the dictionary. You know what you'll find?
      • Harry: A picture of me?
      • Perry: No! The definition of the word idiot, which you fucking are!
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the movie, Val Kilmer says not to leave, to stay and watch the credits, and if you're wondering who the Best Boy is, he's someone's nephew. (The actual Best Boy credit is Jack Bauer.)
