TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This is Colleen Haskell's debut as an actress after being one of the final contenders in the first season of Survivor (2000). Rob Schneider said that working with Haskell was one of the unexpected pleasures of making the film.

In June 2001, Newsweek revealed that print ads for at least four movies released by Columbia Pictures, including this one and A Knight's Tale (2001), contained glowing comments from a film reviewer who didn't exist. The fake critic, "David Manning," was the friend of someone who worked in Columbia's advertising department, and agreed to let his friend use his name. Manning was misrepresented as a reviewer for the Ridgefield Press, a real-life weekly paper out of Ridgefield, Connecticut.

The newspaper clipping of Marvin's father features the face of Rob Schneider's actual father, Marvin (to whom the movie is dedicated) photoshopped onto a police officer. Also, the car in which the lead character has his road accident was originally owned by Marvin Schneider (although several duplicates were also used in the crash sequence).

In both audio commentaries on the Uncut version of the DVD, it is mentioned that Harry Dean Stanton played the part of a hunter staking out the Man-Beast in the forest, but nearly all of the footage ended up on the cutting room floor. He can still be seen, uncredited, being attacked in once scene after Marvin asks Rianna to tie him up.

Director Luke Greenfield's mother deliberately hung around on-set because she was a big fan of Edward Asner.

Popular Dialogues

"Sgt. Sisk: Ladies and gentlemen, our suspect is not human. He is at home in the bush. Shoot to kill. Any questions? Mob Member: Oh, yeah, yeah, I got a question there. When do we get to light our torches? Sgt. Sisk: When it gets dark. Mob Member: Ah, I see. Oh, hey, I got another question there. Suppose, hypothetically, you know, a guy had already lit his torch. I mean, it'd be cool if he could just keep it lit, huh? Sgt. Sisk: Yes. Mob Member: Oh, excellent. Excellent. Sgt. Sisk: Now, if there are no more questions... Mob Member: Oh, hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, if one part of the mob gets separated from another part of the mob, shouldn't there be a place that we can get together? Maybe a secret place the two mobs could reunite, and we'd be a big mob again. Sgt. Sisk: Stay with the mob. Mob Member: Stay with the mob. All right. Sgt. Sisk: Right. Mob Member: Hey, hey, hey, I got another question. Hey, uh, doesn't this guy deserve a fair trial? Sgt. Sisk: You - back of the mob! Mob Member: "Back of the mob"? What? This is my spot! I came early! Sgt. Sisk: Okay, *out* of the mob! Mob Member: Ah, this mob blows."

"Rianna: I just want to thank everyone who sent me food and letters of support, especially the mentally handicapped child who sent me this sweet book of poems. Marvin Mange: She read my poems."
