Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
No hippies or republicans were harmed in this film
Goofs: We know about 22 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: The walkie-talkie used by a character in the robbery scene is really an Ericsson cell phone. Some cell phones have functions that let them work like walkie-talkies, but they are made by Motorola.
Trivia: There are 8 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Yale is never mentioned by name during the film, but there are plenty of references: - At the boat race, every team is mentioned by its school name, except for “The Bulldogs.” (Theyre the Yale team.) - The characters wear Ys on their sports uniforms. - The Skulls are said to have “322 alumni worldwide.” The Yale secret society Skull & Bones uses the number 322 as an identifier on many of its symbols. - The characters are seen celebrating at a pizza parlor they refer to as “Morys,” drinking from a big golden cup. Morys is an actual place, and the tradition with the song and the big golden cup is accurate; however, its a formal restaurant, not a pizza parlor, and actual Morys cups are traditionally silver. - The new Skulls are sent to raid “Snake & Skeleton.” There is a Yale secret society called “Book & Snake.” - Some campus shots seem to purposefully mimic Yale buildings. Theres a tower that looks a lot like Harkness Tower, and the dining hall looks like the one in Saybrook College.
- The wristwatch that each new member of the Skulls is given is the Breitling Old Navitimer.
- The Skull-and-Bones Society (on which this movie was based) actually gives out watches to each class of skulls, though not necessarily with the whole branding ceremony. After the movie was filmed, Joshua Jackson acquired one of the actual watches and gave it to director Rob Cohen.
