James Franco`s line "It smells like, God`s Vagina," was actually originally improvised by Seth Rogen, but James Franco told him it wasn`t funny, then used it in the next take. When the police liaison looks up Dale`s information his birthday is April 14th, 1982 while Seth Rogen`s actual birthday is April 15th 1982. The diner scene near the end of the film was not in the script. It was improvised on the spot by Rogen, Franco and McBride. During filming breaks, James Franco read 16th-century Jacobean dramas. | ||
