Trivia

Will Forte impressed the cast with his beer drinking speed.

Share this

The Swedish drinking song that is heard at Oktoberfest right after the Australian sailors has sung theirs is called "Helan går". It is a song traditionally sung before indulging a small glass of akvavit.

Share this

Beerfest was inspired by Broken Lizard's experiences at Colgate University, as well as a spontaneous "boat race" drinking contest at a beer festival between the comedy troupe members and Australians during the promotion of Super Troopers (2001). The names of some of the characters in Beerfest are taken from classmates and fraternity brothers at Colgate University, including the nickname "Landfill" and a brief mention of "Tommy Malarky". After the German cast members completed their final day of filming, the American and German cast competed in another boat race; the Broken Lizard team won two out of three games.

Goofs

When the college kid begins to explain the "strikeout" to Fink his hand is in his pocket, the very next angle of the scene his hand is suddenly on the counter top.

Share this

When Fink is trying to explain the boot on the chalkboard at their training area, he circles the toes of the boot continuously leaving a pronounced circle. When they cut back to him talking, it is now just a single perfect circle.

(at around 24 mins) The Indian team enters for the Beerfest carrying their flag upside down. Saffron should be on the top.

Faq

Q

Martini Quote...

A

The quote "Let's get you out of those wet clothes, and into a dry martini" is from a 1937 Mae West film entitled "Every Day's a Holiday".

Q

What are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Unrated Version?

A

Even though the Unrated Version includes 9 min and 45 sec in 8 additional scenes all of the new scenes are plot scenes cut to shorten the film a bit. To reach the R-Rating no scenes had to be cut out. A detailed comparison between both versions with pictures can be found here.

Q

What does Fink's "Le Chaim" toast mean?

A

Le Chaim is Hebrew and means "To Life!" It is used in a similar fashion as "Salud!" or "cheers!" before taking a drink.
