    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Seth Rogen originally wrote the part of Saul Silver for himself to play. It wasn't until the table read that he realized James Franco would be funnier in the role of Saul.
    • Goofs
      The foot-hole in the windshield suddenly, inexplicably, changes sizes from small and jagged, to larger and more rounded.
    • Quotes
      • Saul: Let's roll, man! I'm done with the woods! Let's go! C'mon, man, let's get the fuck outta here!
      • Dale Denton: [sarcastically] Okay... Uhh let's go... No... It's not working... the battery's dead.
      • Saul: Wait...! What do you mean, it's dead?
      • Dale Denton: [laughing] What do I mean? I mean the battery's dead. The battery's dead!
      • Saul: No, no! What do you mean, the battery's dead?
      • Dale Denton: How can I explain this to you differently? The battery is dead. It ceased to live. It's deceased now. The car needs a battery to start, Saul.
      • Saul: [frustrated sigh] How did this happen?
      • Dale Denton: Well we clearly fell asleep with the battery on and-...
      • Saul: Aw, man... Talk radio?
      • Dale Denton: Yes, talk radio.
      • Saul: So boring, man! The car just committed suicide.
    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with the 1960's wide screen Columbia Pictures logo.
    • Alternate versions
      For its UK cinema release the film was pre-cut by the distributors to remove a scene showing teenagers smoking a strong form of marijuana in order for the film to receive a '15' certificate. The footage was restored for the DVD and the certificate raised to '18'.
