Trivia: The infamous closing scene in which Divine eats dog feces was completely real. The dog was fed steak before filming, and his owner wouldn't let it outside to "go" until they were ready to film. Divine later called a hospital to see if he could get sick from the stunt, pretending to be a concerned parent whose "retarded child ate dog poop" because he was too embarrassed to admit he did it.
