Audio problem: At the beginning of the movie when the employees start singing after Mark puts his song on, Renee Zellweger is supposed to be singing while she wipes the CDs but you hear her singing and her mouth is not even moving.

Audio problem: When Lucas goes up to Warren for the first time in the movie, Lucas makes a remark about Warren's jacket. Then Lucas whispers the fat man walks alone, Warren then turns his head away from Lucas and says "What are you, some kind of freak or something?" without his mouth moving.

Audio problem: When Warren comes back to the store with a gun and is talking to Deb, he says "My name isn't f - -ing Warren." The store employees are peeking around the wall at this. They say "His name isn't f - -ing Warren," to each other but if you read their lips they're saying "His name isn't Warren." From the Fan Edition DVD.

Question: When Mark is watching a video in which he views himself being swallowed by a random monstrosity, he says, "I love you Eddie." Now, I took it as a reference to the "Eddie" that was part of a famous Iron Maiden stage show back in the eighties. A friend of mine took it as him (Mark) being thankful for his friend, Eddie, giving him the drug inbibed brownies that he was eating. Which was it?

Answer: I'm pretty sure it was the Eddie that gave him the brownies, because the band we see that is onstage at the time is Gwar, if I am not mistaken. They were famous for having a monster onstage that would 'eat' fans.

T Poston

Yeah, cause Eddie gave him the pot brownies that made him hallucinate being in a Gwar show, so he's thanking him.
