2. Due to the adult nature of a lot of the dialogue, the filmmakers had to be careful about how the child actors were involved. Often, actors would be speaking to an empty chair or space. For example, in the scene in Wheeler's apartment, the line "You see, Ronnie? You get it? His dick is the gun" was spoken by Seann William Scott to a pinball machine.

5. Director David Wain claimed that Seann William Scott hated his Minotaur outfit. He told Empire: "Really, he was not happy with that outfit at all. He was incredibly hot and very uncomfortable and there was a fair amount of negotiation every time he had to put it back on."

6. While the filmmakers mostly played ball with the rules, they often deliberately flaunted them. Bobb'e J. Thompson was only 10 during production so had a teacher with him to judge what was and wasn't okay for him to hear or say. But director Wain would often try to distract her on set and get Thompson to say things when she wasn't there.
