The Port Chester crest seen on the gate in the opening sequence and on banners in town has the Latin phrase "sic mentem proba di rectamus". Roughly translated it means: "Thus, let us try God's mind to correct it."
PCU sat on a shelf for a year after filming.
P-Funk was not the first choice for the band at the party. Originally Nirvana was scripted to play, but they were too expensive. The Goo Goo Dolls were considered, but Hart Bochner thought that they wouldn't be recognized in America because they weren't well-known at the time. Bochner finally decided on P-Funk.
Jeremy Piven contracted malaria during filming. He lost 8 pounds overnight. He passed out during filming of the scene at the bicentennial celebration. His weight loss is apparent between the beginning of the movie and the party scene in "the Pit".
According to Jeremy Piven, director Hart Bochner would not allow actors to improvise. He was able to include only limited improvisation such as "Don't be that guy" and only after enlisting the help of the writers. Bochner disputes this saying he allowed improvisation on the set by shooting scenes his way and then doing it Piven's way.
Jeremy Piven (Droz) smoked cigarettes filled with ground up fruit and not tobacco since he does not smoke in real life.
Hart Bochner: can be seen one row behind Tom when he is sitting on the bus on his way home from PCU at the end of the movie.
