Trivia:
The scene where Ulysses, Pete and Delmar come upon the KKK meeting is a reference to the scene in The Wizard of Oz (1939) when the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion sneak up on the Witch's castle. The chanting and formation marching of the Witch's guards are mimicked by the KKK members. Infiltration is achieved in both films by overpowering three guards and KKK members respectively and donning their garb. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When the blind man arrives following the passing train the caboose can be seen on the tracks just ahead. After the three escapees jump on the moving handcar the camera pans to the track ahead and no train can be seen. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Ulysses Everett McGill: Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?
