Police in Car: Halt! This is the police!
Rusty P. Hayes: Well, no shit!
  • Grover Clever is the only one of the three guys who didn't stage either of the kidnappings. However according to the script, police saw him dump the body double for Willard. Putting the blame on him, they put up wanted signs for Grover. Devito can be seen ripping them off telephone polls, which in fact, his character Ralph in Romancing The Stone does the same thing when in the police station in Mexico.
  • A picture, widely distributed on the Internet, features the name of this movie sandwiched between Erin Brockovich (2000) and My Dog Skip (2000) on a marquee, thus spelling out the phrase "Erin Brockovich Screwed My Dog Skip".
  • When Ms. Crock flips through the channels on Grover's TV, the Edward D. Wood Jr. movie Glen or Glenda (1953) can be briefly seen. Writers/directors Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski wrote the movie Ed Wood (1994).
  • The main characters' names are *almost* the names of U.S. presidents: Willard (not Millard) Fillmore; Rusty P. (not Rutherford B.) Hayes; and Grover Cleaver (not Cleveland).
  • In addition to the lead characters' names being a play on Presidential names, the investigating Detective is named Tom Dewey. Thomas E. Dewey was a candidate in the 1948 Presidential Election, and subject of the notorious Chicago Tribune headline "Dewey defeats Truman" on November 3, 1948.
