Trivia: Gabby Millgate, who plays Muriel's sister, also took part in an Australian version of 'Celebrity Big Brother'. Until she was voted off, she took on the personas of different characters and occasionally resurrected this character, telling the viewers to vote off the other housemates because 'they're terrible'.
Trivia: The guy whose spot was stolen on the ride "The Spider", by Axel, is George Lucas. Appearences are also made by Joe Dante as Jailor, Barbet Schroeder as the guy in the Porsche, John Singleton as the fireman and Arthur Hiller as the bar patron.
Trivia: Many of the extras on the film were actual NYC journalists (reporters, columnists, and editors). One was Donna Hanover, a former reporter who, at the time, was married to NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Trivia: The sinister plot of Chess Chemical, in the movie, to falsify the lab tests to show that the LDF hormone is safe to inject into cows and thus for it to get into the milk supply is based on a true story. Chess Chemical is Monsanto. LDF is the controversial "bovine growth hormone," also known as BGH. BGH was found to cause cancer in the cows that were injected. But the FDA approved it anyhow in the 1990s with its full stamp of approval.
Trivia: Brendan Fraser once again reprises his role as Encino Man in this film, as the soldier who tells Bones "don't eat the chicken, it tastes just like frog," and then eats something off Bones' tray.
Trivia: Just as in the first film, Mitch (Billy Crystal) wears a Mets hat the entire movie, yet Billy Crystal is a die hard Yankees fan.
Trivia: This film marks the first time Zack's parents were seen on-screen together at the same time. In the original series, only one parent or the other was seen in certain episodes (but never the two together).
Trivia: In the beginning, Norman Robberson mentions Kojak reruns to his co-worker. Gus Savalas who plays the cook in the movie is the brother of Telly Savalas (who played Kojak).
Trivia: The original title of this Jackie Chan film was "Drunken Master 2" when it was first released in Hong Kong in 1994 (it was not actually a sequel but was a remake/reboot of the 1978 Jackie Chan film "Drunken Master"). The title "Drunken Master 2" was changed to "The Legend of Drunken Master" when it was released in America in 2000.
Trivia: The line the biker chick says in the beginning, "Say it ain't so, Rick" (after being disappointed in Wild Thing's clean cut look and using the word, cute), is from the legend of a kid saying "Say it ain't so, Joe" to Shoeless Joe Jackson when the White Sox were accused of throwing the World Series. Joe Jackson also played for the Indians before the White Sox.
Trivia: At the end of the movie, Carney Lansford spits out chewing tobacco. In reality, they used black liquorice to obtain the same look without having to use the real thing.
Trivia: A. Michael Baldwin was allowed to return to the role of Mike as the film was not funded by studios. He had not been allowed to star in "Phantasm II" due to a studio mandate. Universal agreed to distribute the film once it was completed, but left the production to director Don Coscarelli.
Trivia: This was John Candy's last film he made. He unfortunately passed away in his sleep before filming wrapped up. Re-writes and stand-ins were used to finish the film. Candy had finished filming "Canadian Bacon", but "Wagons East" was released 13 months before "Canadian Bacon."
