TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

As of August 2011, the film has been hit with two lawsuits and, according to Catfish distributor Relativity Media, the film has an unrecouped balance of more than $8.5 million and will not likely ever become profitable. Both of these lawsuits have to do with songs used within the movie not being attributed to their creators.

The song "Megan" sends to Nev titled "Truman Sleeps" is actually from the movie The Truman Show (1998).

As of 2023, the Google Street View image shown in the movie (of the Wesselman house with a child playing in the yard) is still the official image on Street View for that address.

Popular Dialogues

"Vince Pierce: They used to tank cod from Alaska all the way to China. They'd keep them in vats in the ship. By the time the codfish reached China, the flesh was mush and tasteless. So this guy came up with the idea that if you put these cods in these big vats, put some catfish in with them and the catfish will keep the cod agile. And there are those people who are catfish in life. And they keep you on your toes. They keep you guessing, they keep you thinking, they keep you fresh. And I thank God for the catfish because we would be droll, boring and dull if we didn't have somebody nipping at our fin."

"Yaniv Schulman: [First lines] If this is your documentary, you're doing a bad job. Ariel Schulman: Why? Yaniv Schulman: Because you're catching me when I don't want to talk about things. Ariel Schulman: How should we do it? Yaniv Schulman: Set it up, organise a time with me, put together some materials, emails, we'll get the Facebook conversations printed out and we'll really talk about it."
