Directed by: Jared Hess
Starring: Diedrich Bader, Jon Heder, Tina Majorino, Jon Gries, Efren Ramirez, Aaron Ruell
Corrected entry: When Napoleon is giving Deb her boxes back, the boxes appear to be too large to fit Napoleon's locker.
Corrected entry: When Napoleon calls Kip from school to request his Chapstick, the cheese Kip is grating keeps changing. In the final shot, the amount of cheese on top of the nachos increases dramatically.
Correction: The cheese is supposed to change size, it's just a joke, that's why Kip keeps on looking at it.
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Napoleon watches the farmer shoot the cow, the film crew and camera are visible in the reflection of the glass door of the passing school bus. (00:16:20)
Deb: What are you drawing?
Napoleon Dynamite: A liger.
Deb: What's a liger?
Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... Bred for its skills in magic.
Trivia: After Uncle Rico throws the steak at Napoleon when he's riding his bike, Rico sits back down on the porch and you can see him discreetly spit something into his hand and put it down. According to the DVD commentary, this was the bite of steak he was eating, because Jon Gries, who played Uncle Rico, didn't eat red meat. Between shots he spat out all the many bites of steak his character had to eat.
Question: Why does Napoleon, who appears to be a junior or senior in high school, ride the bus with a bunch of little kids?
Answer: Because it is such a small town that the school system can not afford buses for grade level so they have to share them, plus it has comedic value as well.
Small town schools are usually K-12. The other older "cooler" students drive to school or get ride with their friends.
Correction: How can they be too big when he pulls them straight out of his locker; with no hesitation either?
