TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Janeane Garofalo had originally turned down the the part of The Bowler, but changed her mind when she heard William H. Macy and Geoffrey Rush had signed on.

Tom Waits' odd hand gestures when explaining the psychofrakulator were the result of him writing his dialogue on his fingers and reading the words as he went along.

The bowler's skull ball was a custom ball. After the release of the movie, bowling ball manufacturer Ebonite made a less-detailed version of the skull ball as part of their Super Fun Ball line.

According to the DVD commentary, the scene where The Spleen accidentally ignites a blast of flatulence standing by a barrel with a fire in it was a happy accident. Apparently, a crew member had tossed a plastic lighter in the barrel. It happened to explode (a small explosion, but an explosion none the less) while filming Paul Reubens. The reactions that followed were created after the fact, capitalizing on the moment caught on film.

In a 2011 interview with A.V. Club, Hank Azaria claimed that during production Kinka Usher declared "I'm going back to commercials when this is done. I've had enough. I'd much rather do my cool little one-minute shorts that I make than deal with all this nonsense."

Popular Dialogues

"The Shoveller: We've got a blind date with destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster."

"The Sphinx: We are number one. All others are number two, or lower."
