Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Both Eldon Henson's and Seth Green's character names (Mick & Pnub) are based on the SNL skit where Eddie Murphy played an illiterate character named Buckwheat, who sang popular (at the time) songs in a way that he wasn't understood half the time. In one skit, he sings the song "Lookin' for Love" and sings "Wookin' pa nub in a da wong paces..." It can be heard on the commentary that both Mick's and Pnub's names are based on this skit. (If you say "Mick & Pnub" quickly it almost sounds exactly alike.) more
Goofs:
When Anton and his dog, Duke, are under the sheets, their heads are at about the same spot. But when it cuts just before Anton goes to get the phone, his dog's head is not under the covers. more
Quotes:
Pnub: Why don't you just go over there and tell her your name. Maybe she'll think you're... funny or something. more

I first saw this on TV in 2001(I think), and loved it, so I decided to purchase it. It tells the story of Anton(Devon Sawa),a lazy teenage lad who's hand gets possessed. Him and his two best friends Mick and Pnub(Seth Green and Elden Henson) try to save their town, in particular a girl named Molly(Jessica Alba), from a horrific end,with the help of Debi(Vivica A.Fox),who has been trying to trace the the 'idle hand'. Idle Hands remains my favourite comedy horror. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an enjoyable movie.
