* CultClassic: A goofy little film but viewed very fondly by 90s kids, especially fans of Pauly Shore and Creator/BrendanFraser, and even gets some respect for it's surprisingly progressive views of masculinity.

** Who washed and dressed Link's mate at the end? Its doubtful Link would approve of Dave and Stoney giving her the same treatment they did him.

** Platonic male-on-male affection is also depicted without the slightest bit of irony. When Dave and Stoney make up after their fight, they share not an impersonal "bro hug" but a tight, loving embrace for several seconds while both look to be on the verge of tears. In an earlier scenes, one of the Latin thugs is slapped by his girlfriend and immediately falls, crying, in the waiting arms of one of the other thugs, who gives his friend a sympathetic hug (the image is played as a joke, but not the emotion). Inversely, the closest the movie ever comes to anything remotely resembling homophobia is the explicitly villainous Matt passively calling Dave a fag while beating him up (even Stoney falling asleep on Dave after the dig up Link is depicted as more annoying than disgusting). For a doofy 90s comedy, that's exceptionally progressive.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Creator/BrendanFraser and Creator/KeHuyQuan would both win the Best Acting awards at the 2023 Academy Awards, with Fraser winning Best Actor in ''Film/TheWhale'' and Quan winning Best Supporting Actor in ''Film/EverythingEverywhereAllAtOnce''. The two would happily talk about this movie when prompted and how wonderful it was to experience the award season together 32 years later.
* HilariousInHindsight: The 7-11 clerk who chastises Link and Stoney for drinking out of the Icee machine ("No wheezing the ju-uice!") is played by Creator/ErickAvari, who would later have a supporting role in the blockbuster ''Film/TheMummy1999'', starring Creator/BrendanFraser.
