TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

At 6'3", Brendan Fraser was actually too big for the clothing that costume designer Marie France had originally purchased for him. Since Fraser's outfits were supposed to look baggy on him, France had to specially make all of them.

Ke Huy Quan and Sean Astin appeared on-screen together briefly in this movie. It marks the first and only time any original cast members of The Goonies (1985) appeared on screen together again.

In the scene where Brendan Fraser is eating out of the dog bowl, he is actually eating Cookie Crisp, a popular breakfast cereal.

For the scene where Link is in the bath, Brendan Fraser was popping real bath beads into his mouth. He had a bucket nearby to spit them into after each take.

Originally, the filmmakers offered the role of Link to Pauly Shore. When Shore first went in to meet with Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, he told him he didn't want to play Link. Because he knew, since cavemen don't talk, that the film would lose the appeal of his humor and unique "Paulyspeak", (where Shore would pause between syllables of key adjectives). Instead, Shore wanted to play one of the two teens who find the caveman. Once the producers met Brendan Fraser, they decided that he was better suited for the part. So, Katzenberg insisted that Shore, along with the writer, re-write the other teen (who was just another version of the Dave character) to become the Stoney Brown character. Shore improvised most of his lines.

"Stoney: If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole brady bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there, so dont tax my gig so hard-core cruster."

"Dave: The only thing you have ever cared about was nugs, chillin' and grindage. Stoney: Yeah? Well, I happen to care right now! Dave: THAT'S convenient. You came along for the ride, and you let ME do the dirty work... 'cause you thought it might work out to your advantage. Stoney: [as Dave walks off] Those are desperate words of a LOSER. Maybe Matt Wilson was right about you all along. Dave: [turning to face him] Take that back, Stoney. Stoney: No, YOU take that back! Dave: [shoves Stoney] TAKE IT BACK! [they start fighting, Dave takes Stoney to the ground] Stoney: You're a loser. Link: [as he separates them] FAMILY! Dave: [Link restrains Dave] All right! I'm sorry. Link: Family."
