Anecdotes
According to Billy Bob Thornton in a February 7, 1997 interview on Howard Stern's radio show, Karl living behind a shed is based on a boy where he grew up who could not walk or talk very well, so his parents kept him in a shed out back. Billy said the boy's mother was scared by a snake when she was pregnant, so they felt he was a child of the devil. They kept him locked up and fed him like a dog. It turned out the boy had polio.

Gaffes
When Karl is talking to the Frostee Cream Boy, there are no cars on the road behind him. But whenever the camera is aimed at the Frostee Cream, there is a lot of traffic on the road reflected in the window. Billy Bob Thornton points out in the DVD commentary that this is because the local police had another pressing issue the day they filmed Jim Jarmusch, and they couldn't be there to stop traffic.

Citations
Karl: I like them French fried potaters.

Amazing and Mesmerizing

This film is a perfect example of how a film should be made. It has everything, good cast, good script, good performances everything is perfect. This has to be one of my all time favourite films and Billy Bob Thornton is a good a writer and director as he is an actor. The Oscar for best adapted screenplay was well deserved and it shocks me that Billy Bob didn't win the oscar for best actor. I bought this film on DVD and it is a shame you do not get any features but I hope they will release a special edition with contribution from the writer, actor and director himself. I urge everyone to watch this film because it is funny, emotional, enjoyable and just plain brilliant. 10/10
