Trivia
When Uncle Benny (Ned Beatty) talks to Ed Chilton (Steve Buscemi) on the porch swing, he is holding a June, 1992 edition of Esquire Magazine. The cover depicts then-President George Hubert Walker Bush, with the caption, "What Me Worry: How George Bush Went Mad In the White House."

Goofs
Ed's mother's glasses as she jumps the fence.

Quotes
Rev. Praxton: Ed, I like to grease the highboard better than anyone and if it was just four or five guys, I'd have no problem with that, but when I come home and find her doing the two-back beast with the entire church council, well by God, that's going too far - especially since half the council is women! That's when I take a stand. That's when I'm counted as a man! That's when I throw my balls up over my shoulder and charge into the fire!

Crazy credits
Found near the end of the credits about a character who died in a nasty way: Rob Sundheimer...dead but not forgotten.

While not a movie for everyone, give this one a shot!

I first saw this movie on late-night cable; and instantly fell in love with both this film, and the talent of Steve Buscemi. Viewing this movie is HIGHLY entertaining. Although, I have discovered, while watching with groups, that this movie is not for everyone. Some of my friends feel as though it is TOO unbelievable a storyline, making it hard to watch. I feel as though the unrealistic concept is WHAT makes this movie the gem that it is. I also feel as though the supporting cast is fantastic... Of course, it doesn't have the greatest acting in the world...and once again, that is part of its' cultish charm!
