Continuity mistake: In the scene just after Joe finds his parents, when they are sitting in their trailer talking, his parents have a stuffed clown between them. Just before Joe asks them if there ever was a time when they'd be staring at the moon, the clown is slumped forward with its face not visible. In the next shot, when his mom starts her sales pitch about having clowns for sale, the clown is now standing upright between them.

Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Dennie Gordon
Starring: Christopher Walken, Fred Ward, David Spade, Adam Beach, Jaime Pressly, Dennis Miller, Brittany Daniel, Kid Rock
Joe finds his parents. They're horrible people; they left him in the Grand Canyon on purpose. Brandy knew all along where they live (and talked to them) but couldn't tell Joe that they're awful people. Joe gets a new hairdo. Kicking Wing's fireworks business is a success. Clem hooks up with a lady friend and changes his name. Joe makes Robbie eat his dust. Joe and Brandy get married and have kids.

Joe Dirt: So, you're gonna tell me, that you don't have no black cats, no Roman candles, or screamin' mimis?
Kicking Wing: No.
Joe Dirt: Oh come on man. You don't got no lady fingers, buzz bottles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zip-a-dee-do-dahs, crap flappers?
Kicking Wing: No, I don't.
Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, owning a firework stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honker lighters, huskers dus, husker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy dazers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whisking kitty chaser?
Trivia: When little Joe comes out of the trash can he's not at the Grand Canyon, he's in Utah as told in the DVD commentary. (00:05:40)
Question: I don't understand the joke that Clem says when he's cleaning in the hallway, right before the killer mustard gas sequence. He says something like, "Let me ask you something. Does your mother sew?" *smacks the object he's talking to* "Boom! Get her to sew that!" Can anybody explain this?

Answer: It's not so much a joke with a punchline, but more like a funny phrase. He was affiliated with the mob, and as such, has most likely been in violent situations. He asks "does your mother sew" and then punches his refelection in the fire extinguisher case (someone's face if a fight was really happening). The "get her to sew that" comment implies that the person he hit would have needed stitches. (thus the reference to sewing.)
