Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWriting and filming sessions for this movie commenced around 1993, but its release was delayed because the film's original distributor, Buena Vista, did not know what to do with it. Finally, Buena Vista and Touchstone Pictures bought the rights to the film in 1994, and it was officially released in 1995.
- GoofsWhen the mobster shoots the doorknob towards the end, neither the pulling of the trigger, the gunshot sounds, or the squibs sync with each other.
- Quotes
Ernie Lazarro: He insulted me, called me names? Like what?
Tony Scarboni: Fruity ass.
Ernie Lazarro: A what?
Tony Scarboni: A fruity ass.
Ernie Lazarro: What the hell is a fruity ass?
- Crazy creditsAfter initial credits a scene is showed where Brett Weir's housed is being destroyed.
- Alternate versionsThe TV cut that airs on the WB late nights, sometimes, is drastically different from the finished cut of the movie that can be rented on video. The print runs longer and there are a lot more gags (although very low brow). Dialogue is dramatically changed and you can tell these new scenes were filmed a year or so after the movie was made due to the length of the actors' hair, and their skin color, etc.

An Insult to their fans
The Jerky Boys first audio tape was a huge success, and I enjoyed many hours of laughs from it. The second audio tape wasn't as funny, but still had some great jokes, and I never listened to any more after that. But I saw the movie on video, and boy was it bad. It was just the same jokes from the first tape, only not as funny. And the token plot, ughh. They wouldve been better off just showing them make the calls. Alan Arkin as a mafioso????? A psychiatrist, yes (see Grosse Point Blank) but he went beyond miscast here. Everyone I know who saw this film thought it was bad, but the ones who never heard the tapes before thought it was somewhat funny, while fans of the Jerky Boys expected a whole lot more. Now Johnny and Kamal's 15 minutes of fame are up, but at least they had a good run (Perhaps they'll make a comeback someday).
