Trivia
When it was revealed that Anthony Edwards wasn't going to be in the third movie because he was busy shooting "some medical show in Chicago", the response from the cast was, "They make one of those every year in Hollywood. Why's he wasting his time?". The show that Edwards was busy making was ER (1994), which went on to be a big hit.

Goofs
When the members of Lambda Lambda Lambda are watching Harold Skolnick remotely controlling the robot to mess with the Alpha Beta's pimple cream, Harold Skolnick narrates "We're here at the world renowned Tri-Lamb fraternity bathroom where we've secretly replaced their Pimple Clear with pimple inducing ingredients". He should have said they were at the Alpha Beta fraternity's bathroom. It was mentioned earlier in the film that the Tri-Lamb house and everything in it had been given to the Alpha Betas, however, so Alpha Betas using the Tri-Lamb bathroom is not an error.

Quotes
[seeing Lewis get chummy with Stan Gable]
Dudley 'Booger' Dawson, Esq.: You've become the worst kind of nerd. A self-hating one. I remember when you were the George Washington of nerds. Now, you're more like the Benedict Arnold!

My brief review of the film

With the likable characters from the first two films all grown up, they are given far smaller supporting roles here, as we are introduced to a new range of characters, most of which are sadly are underdeveloped and lack the charm of the original nerds. In spite of this, the usual silliness, predictability, and fades to black that carry on far too long, the film is still moderately entertaining, and there are quite a few songs that are amusing to listen to. It is not a very well made film, but it is engaging enough to keep one watching for the running time, even if it is far off the level of the first two entries in the series.
