- TriviaColin Quinn who played Dre and Lover's best friend Frankie on the film, also appeared on MTV as part of the original game show "Remote Control", which also featured Adam Sandler and Kari Wuhrer, which was hosted by Ken Ober, who makes a cameo in this film as the police geologist, Bernstein. Quinn and Sandler would be hired to star on Saturday Night Live and both were working on the show while this film was in production in 1992 and after the film was released. Quinn would leave about a year before Sandler was unceremoniously fired from the show along with Chris Farley, David Spade and a few other members in the 1995 infamous housecleaning that took place that spring.
- GoofsDemetrius makes mention of a bible scripture "Every man's sword will be against his brother". He says this is from the book of Daniel. It is actually from Ezekiel 38:21.

Featured review
Nobody makes me laugh like Denis Leary so when I first heard about this movie, I was dying to see it. I kept trying to rent it at the video store, but every time I went, it was checked out so I gave up trying to get it for a while. A few months later, I caught it on TV and I laughed my butt off. Although Denis Leary wasn't in it as much as I would have liked, I loved it. It instantly became one of my favorites despite all of its flaws. The cast is great, especially Doctor Dre and Ed Lover in what are sadly their only starring roles to date. The supporting cast, which consists of some of the coolest people ever, is great as well. I thought there was a good chance that this movie would really suck, but I was wrong. This is a classic 90s film. Movies like this just aren't made anymore. ***
