Man that suuuckss. It was a documentary on the making of the movie and had all the actors telling their stories, everything to do with it was more interesting than you'd have thought. Wish I would have keepvid'd that thing. Maybe it's somewhere else on the web. It was one of the most entertaining movie docs I've seen.
Curtis Armstrong read the script and went to try out, said he would play anyone except Booger, then was offered Booger and accepted (was funny the way he says it).
The guy who was Poindexter made up the whole dance scene stuff himself.
The guy who played Lamar was not gay in real life but while the rest of the cast got swarmed by girls during filming, all of them thought he was gay in real life and wouldn't give him the time of day.
The guy who played Gilbert locked himself in a hotel room whenever they weren't shooting to stay perfectly in character on and off screen.
The whole thing was supposed to be a flop, planned flop by Fox to use as a tax writeoff after a previous film was highly successful, then the movie was a huge hit, except they didn't print enough copies/put it in enough theaters so they kind of shot themselves in the foot twice.
There was a big scene about getting the director to remake "Animal House" with nerds, but the story was told in an interesting way.
Stuff like that. Just really well made documentary.
