- TriviaAdam Bryant,who appears as the android head, has beenRobin Williams' stand-in for more than a dozen films.
- GoofsThe delivery van that brings Andrew is supposed to be Electric, but it has a tailpipe which are not required for this type of vehicle. This is not a goof if the vehicle is a hydrogen or similarly powered vehicle which while running on electricity would have a water by-product which needs an exhaust pipe.
- Quotes
Andrew Martin:May one, sir? Is now a good time?
'Ma'am' Martin:What? A good time for what?
Andrew Martin:Last night, Sir taught...
Sir:No, no, no, don't blame me Andrew. Just... go ahead.
Andrew Martin:Thank you sir
Andrew Martin:[Very fast]Two cannibals were eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "Does this taste funny to you?" How do you make a hanky dance? Put a little boogie in it! What is a brunette between two blondes? A translator! Do you know why blind people don't like to sky-dive? It scares their dogs! A man with demensia is driving on the freeway. His wife calls him on the mobile phone and says "Sweetheart, I heard there's someone driving the wrong way on the freeway." He says "One? There's hundreds!" What's silent and smells like worms? Bird farts. It must have been an engineer who designed the human body. Who else would put a waste processing plant next to a recreation area? A woman goes into a doctor's office, and the doctor says "Do you mind if I numb your breasts?" "Not at all." *makes 'motor-boating' noise. "Num-num-num-num."
Andrew Martin:[Family chuckles]One did it sir!
Sir:Andrew, it was fine, but we might want to talk about appropriatness and um, and timing.
Andrew Martin:It's ten-fifteen sir.
[Family laughs hysterically]
- Alternate versionsFor Great Movies (a TV channel here in the UK)have certain lines and particular scenes cut. For example the line where Andrew mentions about breasts is cut along with the scene where he says can you fix this piece of shit,and finally the scene where Rupert and Andrew were talking about sex was shortened. However on Sky Cinema no scenes were harmed at all.
