Trivia:
Joe Eszterhas announced through the media during post-production that Cinergi Pictures didn't have the money to pay for soundtrack. He said that he would finance the soundtrack from his own money and asked to submit tracks for it to him. He received 9,200 CDs and cassettes from mostly unknown and unsigned artists, listened to all that was sent (at least a couple of tracks from each record) and compiled the soundtrack. moreQuotes:

I thought that this film was utterly hilarious. What a concept! Watching it late at night on Starz!, I woke my entire family up laughing. The actors are great, the documentary style footage is wonderful, but when it flashed "Linguist" under Jackie Chan's name, I lost it. 7 out of 10. Funny stuff, in the same ballpark as MST3K: The Movie.
