Trivia:

When the vultures are eating the zebra, the zebra "responds" with "Oh my God, oh my God." That's a clip from the movie Super Troopers (2001). Paul Soter says is while his character is "flashing" Marisa Coughlan outside of the police station, while on the phone with her.

Goofs:

Continuity: In the RV, the face of Cooker's beer can changes direction between shots.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Peter Gaulke: [talking on phone] Look at my dad. He was the king. I mean, no matter what happened, I mean he was as cool as a cucumber. He never forgot a line, and he never let anything ruffle him. My dad was the king. No doubt. And his TV show ruled the ratings.
[lights up weed]
Peter Gaulke: What was that?
[coughs while getting high]
Peter Gaulke: Excuse me. It was a wildlife show called Strange Wilderness. Oh, you remember that? Do you remember my dad? Oh cool. Yeah, then he died and then I took over the show, then it went all to hell. I mean, I'm nothing like my dad. Nothing at all. I don't know.

i love this movie

hey guys don't go by the reviews ,just go and watch this film.I thought the film was great from start to end ,and the one liners were completely hilarious.There's not one scene that didn't make me laugh.I will agree to others that there's no story in this movie what so ever .but for comedies, the scenes,acting and dialogues need to be good ,and not the story. This one is one of my all time favourites and some real funny jokes that will make u fall off your chair.they use the "group of guys " concept tremendously well.I don't know why many of the users have posted negative comments,but different people have different tastes so its acceptable. Watch it if u like this one liner

"sharks are found only in two places on earth,the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere"
