TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Ben Stiller said nearly all aspects of the Les Grossman character were developed by Tom Cruise, including the dancing and the look of the make-up. Stiller said that in addition to the more obvious make-up effects applied to Cruise's face and head, and the extra hair on his chest and arms, Cruise also decided to play the character wearing oversized prosthetic hands.

In the film, Kirk Lazarus says, "I don't drop character 'til I've done the DVD commentary". When recording the audio commentary for the Unrated DVD and Blu-ray, Robert Downey, Jr. actually spends the entire commentary in the character that appears on the screen as the movie progresses.

Owen Wilson was originally set to play Rick Peck. After his attempted suicide, Ben Stiller gave the role to Matthew McConaughey so that Owen could relax.

The character of Kirk Lazarus was originally written as Irish. It was changed to Australian when Robert Downey, Jr. said it would be easier for him to improvise in the Australian accent that he had already developed for Natural Born Killers (1994).

The water buffalo that Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black) rides turned out to be pregnant. The cast and crew found out it had been pregnant when they came to the set one morning and found her nursing a newborn calf.

Popular Dialogues

"Les Grossman: First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE! I don't know what kind of pan-pacific bullshit power play you're trying to pull here, but Asia Jack is my territory. So whatever you're thinking, you'd better think again! Otherwise I'm gonna have to head down there and I will rain down an un-Godly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!"

"Kirk Lazarus: Man, I don't drop character 'till I done the DVD commentary."
