TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Elijah Wood was scripted to have his first on-screen kiss in the film. The scene was shot, then cut out of the final movie.

Director Alan Shapiro originally wanted 'an entirely unknown' for the role of 'Kim'. However, felt that most of the girls that screen tested with Elijah Wood were too 'giggly'. He decided to cast someone with more experience.

Elijah Wood's character in almost every scene is wearing a Smashing Pumpkins shirt. This is because he's a big Smashing Pumpkins fanatic in real life.

When Paul Hogan uses a blowtorch to 'toast' bread he is recreating a gag that was employed on The Paul Hogan Show where Hoges makes toast for his house-mate - Strop.

Allegedly the Flipper from the original tv show killed himself; it's one of the rare documented cases of animal suicide.

Popular Dialogues

"Uncle Porter: [reading the riot act to Sandy] You're going to have to use your brain which is going to hurt because it's the weakest muscle in your body."

"Dirk Moran: [Porter having just cut Moran's net line] You got no right to do that. I ought to teach you a lesson. Uncle Porter: Yeah, I'd like that. I have a thirst for knowledge. Teach me. Dirk Moran: [Moran backs down and just scoffs] Uncle Porter: School's out for the day, isn't it? Thought so. Maybe next time."
