Dazed and Confused

• Director Richard Linklater and Universal Studios were sued by three of Linklater's former high school classmates for using their likenesses and names in the movie without their permission.  Those three guys were named Bobby Wooderson, Andy Slater, and Richard Floyd.  The lawsuit was later dropped because the statute of limitations expired.
• Shawn Andrews (the girly looking guy) and Jason London (Pink) did not get along during shooting and had to be broken up when they started a fight on set.  Because of their dislike, many scenes were changed and even though they are in a lot of scenes together, they rarely exchange dialogue.
• While filming, Milla Jovovich and Shawn Andrews flew to Vegas and got married.  However, Milla was only 16 at the time and her mother made them get the marriage annulled.
• The word "man" is said 203 times.
• Prior to filming, Wiley Wiggins (Mitch) had never thrown a baseball before (how is that possible) and had to have a stand-in do the baseball scenes for him.
• The actress who played the curly redhead who hang out with the two nerdy characters is named Marissa Ribisi, she is Giovanni Ribisi's twin sister.  Giovanni Ribisi is the guy who played Nick Cage's little brother in Gone in Sixty Seconds.
• All of the custom paddles were designed by the actors themselves.
• Vince Vaughn auditioned for the role of Benny, but the director thought that Vaughn and Ben Affleck resembled each other too much and cast Cole Hauser instead.
• The word "fuck" is said 59 times.
• Did you know that Renee Zellweger was in this movie?  She had a non-speaking part apparently.
• The beer drunk in the movie was real and everyone in the cast except for minors drank as much as they wanted.

"This is still Matthew McConaughey's greatest role."
