Dumb and Dumber

Trivia: When Harry and Lloyd eat the hot peppers, the actors were supposed to eat a red candy, but Jim Carrey accidentally ate one of the peppers.

Trivia: When Jim Carry said "hey want to hear the most annoying sound in the world?" and makes the weird sound. That scene was not in the script (watch Jeff Daniels).

Trivia: In the bar scene Lloyd sees the newspaper clipping on the wall and says "No way! We landed on the moon?" This wasn't in the script - Jim Carrey improvised the line and it was left in the movie.

Trivia: Seabass actually makes an appearance in Me Myself And Irene as one of the Maine State Troopers at the end of the movie. In both cases, Seabass is played by ex-Boston Bruin, Cam Neely. He's a good friend of the Farrelly Brothers, and Jim Carrey.

Trivia: In the original ending, Harry and Lloyd would have climbed onto the bus full of bikini models. Jim Carrey fought hard not to have this ending, so it was changed to them not getting on the bus and walking back home.

Trivia: The opening credits are chock full of intentional misspellings. (Examples: "Costoom Designer Mary Zophres", "Muzik Supervisor Dawn Soler", etc.)

Trivia: Karen Duffy plays J.P. Shay in the film. In the film "Blank Check", which was released only 10 months prior to this film, she played "Shay Stanley."

Trivia: A majority of the film was shot in and around Salt Lake City, Utah and a few locations in Colorado. Harry and Lloyd's apartment is in downtown Salt Lake City.

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, Harry's van has bucket seats, yet later on when the "gas-man" rides along, he is sitting on a bench seat in-between Harry and Lloyd. (00:38:00)

Suggested correction: Mental isn't sitting on a bench seat, it's implied he's sitting on the floor of the van in between the both of them. Although hard to see, the backs of the bucket seats can still be seen behind Harry and Lloyd at certain points. You see a fair bit of it behind Harry whilst he's dancing as Lloyd sings the line "and if that mocking bird don't sing".

Suggested correction: Maybe the bench-seat folds down; out of the way somehow?

There's no evidence of this, especially since we see the floor where the bottles are. And it doesn't explain where the bucket seats went.
