Dumb & Dumber
- The 'Most Annoying Sound in the World' scene was improvised by Jim Carrey and the look on Jeff Daniels' face is genuine shock.
- Jim Carrey had chipped his tooth years before the movie was filmed and removed the cap to make his character look more deranged.
- Harry and Lloyd's characters are named after silent comedy icon Harold Lloyd.
- In order for Jeff Daniels to get that awesome frizzy hair, he only washed his hair with shampoo but never blow dried it or combed it.
- In the scene where Harry and Lloyd are escaping the 'gas man', you can see a man urinating on a wall in the background who was not supposed to be there.
- Film debut of Harland Williams. He played the cop who drank Harry's pee.
- Steve Martin and Martin Short both turned down the part of Lloyd. Rob Lowe was also up for the part but lost out to Jeff Daniels
- Jim Carrey was initially offered $700,000 to do this movie, but Ace Ventura opened the weekend of contract negotiations and debuted at no. 1 at the box office. After that, his agent him a $7 million deal, almost half of the movie's entire budget.
- Nicolas Cage and Gary Oldman were the original choices to play the main characters. What and what?!?!
- If Mary (Lauren Holly) had ended up marrying Lloyd, that would have meant her married name would have been Mary Christmas.
- The original ending would have been Harry and Lloyd getting on the bus full of bikini models, but Jim Carrey refused to do it and thought the two idiots passing on the opportunity would have been funnier.
