Trivia
When we see the Top Selling singles chart showing Deweys fictional hit song "Walk Hard" at #4 the 3 songs ahead of it are #1 You, You, You by The Ames Brothers, #2 No Other Love by Perry Como and #3 P.S. I Love You by The Hilltoppers - all of which were actual hits.
When L'Chaim visits Dewey in prison he begins talking in Yiddish asking Dewey to speak the "Mamehlushen"(literally meaning "mother tongue")explaining that the guards won't understand what they're saying and suggests Dewey go to rehab. Dewey responds in German.
"The Dewey Cox Show" airs on CBS. During a rehearsal, Dewey complains that his show is getting beaten in the ratings by "The Incredible Hulk." The Incredible Hulk aired on CBS, so it could not be in competition with "The Dewey Cox Show."
In the school talent show, which takes place in 1953, the lead guitarist is playing a Harmony Bobcat electric guitar. The Bobcat was not produced until 1964.
At the end of the movie it says Dewey Cox was born in 1936. However in 1953 Deweys mother calls him her favorite fourteen year old son and it is mentioned several more times that he is fourteen. That would have made his birth-year 1939
Nightclub Manager: [to Dewey]
I pay you to mop the floors, not bug the band! My customers come in here to dance erotically, and they need a clean floor to do it on!
