Major Clean-Up
editI cleaned up the sea of info that was posted and took out some that wasn't very relevant to the entry in general. Stuff like:
MOVIE MISTAKES
• After the school bus leaves St. Gabriels Catholic School, Rick presses the play button of an empty tape deck on a boom box.
• Rick’s voice does not sync with his lips when talking thru the intercom on the bus.
• When Rudy is under the car at the auto shop, he tells himself to change the oil, but begins working under the middle of the car.
• Rick has the bus valet-parked when they arrive at the hotel, but later, when everyone ‘escapes’ into the alley, the bus is there waiting. Maybe there was no room for a bus in the garage?
• When Rudy breaks into Cole's car, he is seen running up to the car and immediately picking the lock. In the very next shot, there is a beer can on the roof of the car. We never see Rudy place the beer there!
• When the guys are about to watch Jay’s porno movie, O’Neill is seen putting the projector cover on the table twice in two consecutive shots.
• While pulling up the movie screen, Rudy is heard shouting “Alright!”, but his lips do not move.
• During the party, Rick yells “Alligator!” and everybody drops to the floor and shakes around. A hooker dressed in purple gets up twice in two different shots.
• There are several scenes in which a key is not used to open the door to Room 1002, yet the hotel manager has to use his key at the end.
• During Oingo Boingo’s “Who Do You Want To Be”, Angel and the Reruns are singing/playing instruments. Are they just having fun pretending to play along, or are we supposed to think that they are performing the Oingo song?
• The “ST. GABRIELS CATHOLIC SCHOOL” text seen on the school bus is just a magnetic label. The yellow label doesn’t match the yellow paint on the bus. The label is missing from the driver’s side when the bus leaves the hotel alley, yet when it arrives at the Mann 36 Theatres, the label is there. When the label is missing, the side of the bus reads “AIR TRANSPORTATION”.
• When Brad is driving the bus through the theatre’s parking lot, the headlights are off, but when he crashes through the building and screen, the headlights are on
DELETED SCENES
The Coffee Shop (at the Parkview Hotel) Early before the party kicks into full swing, O'Neill and Rick head downstairs to a coffee shop that, at the time, was inside the hotel. Jay picks out a booth, and they sit down. After they sit down, there is the sound of a zipper being undone. Apparently Jay had a hooker waiting under the table for Rick! As she begins, er, 'servicing' Rick, Jay says, "This is my wedding present to you, pal!" Rick begans making exclamations along the lines of "sweet mother of Jesus", just as the priest that's going to marry Rick and Debbie happens to walk in to the coffee shop, and recognizes Rick and Jay. The priest hears Ricks quasi-religious shouts, and Jay explains, "He always prays out loud before he eats, Father." - mentioned by Adrian Zmed, on FX Network's "DVD On TV" broadcast of Bachelor Party

This is all fine and dandy but not really suitable for a Wikipedia entry. Count Ringworm 19:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Trivia & in popular culture
editThese two sections are unsourced and need to be converted into prose therefore I am moving them here until these things happen.--J.D. (talk) 18:31, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Trivia
edit- The restaurant where Ryko works is “A Drinking and Gathering Place”, according to the decal on the outside window. The name of the restaurant is obscured.
- The pin-ups on Rick and Debbie’s refrigerator are drawings of Flintstones characters.
- The movie Brad is watching on TV in the hotel room is The Little Princess, a 1939 drama starring Shirley Temple.
- When Rick juggles 3 meatballs then throws in the pot, he misses the first throw, later it slides down from the grate.
- Rosanne Katon (Darlene, one of the “twins of pleasure”) was a centerfold in the September 1978 issue of Playboy magazine.
- The husband of the honeymoon couple is screenwriter Pat Proft.
- The space battle scenes on the movie screen (where Rick fights Cole) are from the 1980 movie Battle Beyond the Stars.

edit- The film is referenced in the other films Get Over It (2001), How High (2001), and Clerks II (2006), as well as the 1995 "Wedding" episode of the television show NewsRadio.
Production
editI have researched this film extensively and can find no references to any of the claims made in this section. There are many sites all over the Interent reproting these things, but none have any sources or attribute them to anyone. They just seem to be feeding off one another and it all just seems to be hearsay at this point. I am removing it until any reliable sources can be sited to back up the claims.Dohhh22 (talk) 18:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
"Controversy" section
editI removed the "Controversy" section as it consisted of only a mention that the actress was tricked during the "moonroof" scene. The source for this was a podcast in which someone claims to have seen that said on Twitter somewhere. This doesn't stand up as a reliable source, especially for a paragraph beginning with "It's believed that...". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcjnst (talk • contribs) 17:48, 25 February 2020 (UTC)
