[edit] Trivia
- Elitch Gardens, the park where the movie is filmed at underwent a complete remodel, with all the signs for the park and for the rides being changed and renamed for the movie. However, there are a few times in the movie when you can see the real signs for the rides and park in the background.
- Jim Varney's character is named Lothar Zogg. Lothar Zogg was (originally) a character in Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964).
[edit] Goofs
- When Medusa tells DJ to freeze the picture of the boys and Amanda, Tum-Tum has a straight face, but when the photo comes out he has his tongue out.
- Right after Rocky jumps over the fence and kicks the ninja that is holding Tum-Tum he says, "Give me five!" but his lips don't move at all.
