Trivia
The Mayor (voiced by Ned Beatty) is reminiscent of the character Noah Cross played by John Huston in Roman Polanski's 'Chinatown' (1974). He even wears suspenders (braces) like Huston's character. Also, lthe plot in 'Chinatown' also involves water and a shady scheme involving Cross as it does the Mayor in Rango

Goofs
The bats' feet are reversed. Birds' feet curl backward, but bats' feet curl forward - exactly the opposite.

There are no natural Saguaro cacti in the Mojave Desert. They are native to the Sonoran Desert.

Q
What does the Raoul Duke caricature say at the beginning of the film?
A
Near the beginning of the film, when Rango is being thrown about on the road, he lands on the windshield of a red convertible driven by none other than Raoul Duke, with Dr. Gonzo riding in the backseat. Raoul mutters something to Gonzo, and then mutters something else before using the windshield wipers to throw Rango off the car.What he first says is, "Whoa! There's another one!" and then he says, "I knew it..."This is an obscure (and quite hilarious) reference to a scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Raoul Duke hallucinates being in the middle of a "reptile zoo." It is also a nod to Depp, as he played the main characters in both this movie and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas respectively.
Q
What species are the characters?
A
Rango is a pet chameleon, and judging by his appearance, he's probably a veiled chameleon(Chamaeleo calyptratus)Beans is a desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis).Priscilla is a cactus mouse (Peromyscus eremicus)Roadkill is a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus)Mayor is a desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii)Rattlesnake Jake is a western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox)Balthazar is a broad-footed mole (Scapanus latimanus)Bad Bill is a gila monster (pronounced "heela"; Heloderma suspectum)Doc is a rabbit of uncertain species.Ambrose is an owl.Wounded Bird is a raven.
Q
What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Extended Cut?
A
When watching the supplements of the extended version, one gets the impression that some of them have been removed because they may have been too daring for childrens eyes. Some of the jokes, e.g. on the bankers corpse, are really a bit rough for a film which is aimed at children; and perhaps they did not want to teach the children that spitting can be cool sometimes either. It is rather unlikely that the cut was necessary for the PG. Maybe Paramount took care of that on its own. Overall, the Extended version is 4:42 minutes longer. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.
