TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Early in filming, an insecure Robert Tsai approached director Richard Linklater and tried to talk him out of letting him be in the movie because he felt he wasn't right for the role. Linklater responded that it was his very insecurity that made him exactly right for the role, and kept him in. Fittingly, Tsai's character, Lawrence, has a very similar conversation with Dewey Finn (Mr. S) about not feeling right for his role in the band.

Jack Black thought of all the nicknames for the kids.

The idea for the movie came when writer Mike White moved into an apartment next to Jack Black. White would often find Jack Black running naked through the halls or blasting much of the music featured in the movie at full volume.

All the kids really play their instruments, and the backup singers are real vocalists. Jack Black also played guitar in the movie (for example, when he is teaching "Smoke on the Water", "Iron Man", and other songs to Zack), but he didn't do the guitar solos.

Writer Mike White is actually not a huge fan of classic rock. The basis of the movie is actually used so Jack Black could perform his own favorite music.

Popular Dialogues

"Dewey Finn: Now, what makes you mad more than anything in the world? [sees Billy who has his hand raised] Dewey Finn: Billy? Billy: You! Dewey Finn: Billy, we've already told me off. Let's move on. Billy: You're tacky and I hate you! Dewey Finn: Okay, you see me after class!"

"Dewey Finn: [confesses] My name is Dewey Finn. And no, I'm not a licensed teacher, but I have been touched by your kids. And I'm pretty sure that I've touched them. [the previously calm parents begin murmuring in confusion; Dewey escapes]"
