Trivia

Pootie Tang's nonsense talk came from something Louis C.K. did as a child to amuse himself.

Paramount originally intended for the film to be a limited release by Paramount Classics, their art-house division. Later, Chris Rock's involvement and the success of the somewhat similar Austin Powers movies convinced them it had box office potential, so they changed it to a wide release.

According to Louis C.K., Paramount President John Goldwyn yelled at him, accused him of wasting Paramount's money, and called the film "unreleasable."
