TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The MPAA would not allow the name "Focker" unless the filmmakers could find an actual person with that surname.

Robert De Niro wanted "Mr. Jinx" to appear in more scenes than he was supposed to because De Niro liked the cat so much. Apparently, De Niro would also play with the cat between filming scenes.

According to the DVD commentary, the car chase scene was originally meant to be a spoof of Ronin (1998). When the filmmakers got to the location, they saw how quickly the lights changed, realized it would be a funnier joke, and re-wrote the scene (the lights really did change from green to red as fast as they are shown in the movie).

At one time, Jim Carrey was slated to star as the lead and even contributed jokes to the screenplay, such as the main character being named "Focker".

Robert De Niro originally wanted to train the cat himself, but then realized that would take up several months of his life. Instead, he would carry kibble in all of his pockets, which helped him enjoy a very cooperative relationship with the animal.

Popular Dialogues

"Dina Byrnes: I had no idea you could milk a cat! Greg Focker: Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples. Jack Byrnes: [He reacts] I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?"

"[Jack's Poem] Jack Byrnes: "My Mother", by Jack Byrnes. You gave me life / You gave me milk / You gave me courage / Your name was Angela / The angel from Heaven / But you were also an angel of God / And He needed you, too / Selfishly I tried to keep you here / While the cancer ate away your organs, / Like an unstoppable rebel force / But I couldn't save you / and I shall see your face nevermore, nevermore, nevermore / Until we meet in heaven. Pam Byrnes: Dad, that's beautiful. Dina Byrnes: It always gets me. Greg Focker: That's amazing, so much love, and also so much information."
