Directed by: Terry Zwigoff
Starring: Billy Bob Thornton, John Ritter, Lauren Graham, Bernie Mac
Willie: I'm an eating, drinking, shitting, fucking Santa Claus.
Willy:...and I went to my father. And you know what he did? He kicked my ass. And do you know why?
Kid: Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?
Willy: Were you dropped on your head?
Kid: My head?
Willy: Of course your head. Who else's head are we talking about?
Kid: How can I be dropped on my own head?
Continuity mistake: When Willie goes to the motel that he is staying at, Opal, one of his many conquests, is sitting outside on a bench taking off her wig and shoes. In the next shot when Willie calls to her, she is seen taking off her wig and shoes again.
Trivia: Billy Bob Thornton has said he really was drunk during some scenes.
Question: Here's something I've never understood. Who is that guy that attacks Willie in the parking lot near the start of the film? The guy that says "I am not gay". What the hell is he talking about? Then calls him "assclown". Who was that guy and why did he attack Willie for no apparent reason?
Answer: Willie asks the guy if he's off his meds, to which the man replied, "Yes."
Answer: My guess is that when he was a child, he was molested by a man dressed as Santa Claus, and ever since then he has been holding a grudge against people dressed as Santa Claus. You can see him staring angrily at Willie in the bar even before Willie notices him.
