Before party starts the boys are in Thomas's bedroom and his Dad calls for Thomas. Thomas and Costas run out and there is no skateboard between mirror and piano. Then when Dax films himself in that mirror you see the piano and a skateboard appears.

Q

How many songs were in this movie and where can I find them?

A

The movie consists of 47 songs. The complete list can be found here with their corresponding scene descriptions.

Q

Why did they choose Project X as the title?

A

The title Project X was initially a placeholder for a final title. Todd Phillips said that they didn't have a title and so they just put Project X as a title page on the scripts - just for inside the office. However, people started talking about it as a secret project, the word spread, and the title was kept.

A

For detailed information about the amounts and types of (a) sex and nudity, (b) violence and gore, (c) profanity, (d) alcohol, drugs, and smoking, and (e) frightening and intense scenes in this movie, consult the IMDb Parents Guide for this movie. The Parents Guide for Project X can be found here.
