AJ: "Afganhi cusho kryptonite".
Tank: Killed Superman - I'm just a man
Ami: You really like a super special kind of asshole?
Tank: And I ride the special kind of asshole bus to school.
- Dane Cook's character Tank's real name in the movie is Sherman which is also the name of the main tank used by U.S. armed forces during WW2.
- The director allowed the actors, particularly Dane Cook, to improvise extensively, often diverging completely from the script. He would sometimes run 20 or more takes, letting the performers do something different every time, before settling on a few of those ideas in order to get pick-ups or close-ups. This made life particularly interesting for the principal and background actors in the scene with Dane, as well as for the prop and sound personnel.
- The third collaboration between Dane Cook and Lionsgate on a comedy feature film.
- Title is taken from The Cars hit song (featured in the film).
- For the scene in which Dane Cook grabs and squeezes Kate Hudson's butt, a "stunt butt" was used.
