Goofs
|
Continuity: In the Boardwalk scene where Jables meets Kage, you can see a girl with a Mohawk and her friends pass by going in the same direction twice. SYNC: Most scenes involving the playing of guitar are unsynced. The most noticeable is the "Beezleboss (Final Showdown)" scene when Kage starts playing the audio has changes in the guitar chords, but KG's hands aren't moving at all. Continuity: When JB and KG borrow the car from their friend, it clearly has stickers on it advertising the pizza business. During the car chase scene, the stickers are completely non-visible. (The reason there are no stickers visible in the car chase is because the shot of them falling off was cut. This can be seen in the deleted scenes on the DVD). Continuity: At the end of the movie, where JB and KG are thinking of what song to record, the white pick in KG's guitar disappears and reappears as the angle changes. Revealing mistakes: When Jables and Kage are power sliding their way to safety in the rock 'n' roll hall of fame, you can clearly see that Kage is wearing knee pads. GEOG: When young JB leaves home and a map is shown with an animated line following his travels, the town "Charlotte" appears on the map twice, in both North Carolina and South Carolina. There is no Charlotte, South Carolina, the place marked on the map as "Charlotte" in SC is about where Greenville, SC should be. All other towns marked on the map of the country are correct. Miscellaneous: There is a typo on the DVD in the deleted scenes. It says "KB (not KG) shows JB Maximum Overthruster". Continuity: When the devil is being pulled back into hell at the end, the marks his claws left in the ground change length between shots. Revealing mistakes: In the showdown with the Devil, after JB and Kyle challenge him to a rock off, and he starts to scream "FUCK!", he turns around and you can see a white strap of elastic that holds some of the hair on his lower half on. Revealing mistakes: When KG and JB are driving, especially during the chase scene, it is very obvious that the car is on a trailer and being towed and not actually being driven. When the background shows that the car is pulling over to the curb, or turning, the wheel stays straight and does not rotate. Crew: When the duo's car jumps the car between the police cars, the wreckage of a movie camera, which they land on, is clearly visible sliding away in the foreground. GEOG: The map shows Hollywood, Florida in the northeastern part of the state, near Jacksonville. It's actually in southern Florida, near Miami. Crew: In "Car Chase City" when the Cutlass Supreme does the flip and it lands a camera can clearly be seen coming from the bottom of the car. Continuity: During the car chase scene, whenever the camera is zoomed in on JB, the guitar on the left is lying on its back. However, when they are both in view, the guitar is lying on its front. Continuity: As Jack and Kyle are walking up the "Guitarway to Heaven" in the Rock Museum, they are at first walking completely in sync. Cut to a close-up of their feet, and they are out of sync. They are still walking directly next to each other, so it is not due to one of them changing their pace. In the next shot, they are once again in sync. When they reach the top of the stairs, out of sync again. GEOG: During the scene showing the map, the location of Norfolk, Virginia, is incorrect. It is shown as being in the middle of the state, but in actuality is located on the coast of the state. Revealing mistakes: In the opening musical sequence, "Kickapoo," frontal shots of young JB reveal a Black Sabbath concert t-shirt from the Live Evil Tour, yet the back of the shirt clearly says "Mob Rules Tour." The Mob Rules Tour happened a year before the Live Evil album was released. Crew: SPOILER: In the scene after the credits someone from the production team is reflected in KG's guitar. Continuity: When JB and KG are playing "Master Exploder", at the part where JB is about to blow the guy's mind, his arm changes between shots from straight to bent. Continuity: When JB meets KG playing the guitar on the street, JB is holding the guitar first in his hands but in the next shot it's on his back and again in the next shot he's holding the guitar in his hands but in the next shot he has the guitar on his back again. Continuity: When JB is in the vent at the Rock And Roll Museum he talks to KG on his radio but KG doesn't have a radio when he shows up. Revealing mistakes: When Lee is watching JB and KG on TV evading the police on TV, the TV station shows camera angles of the police chase that would have been impossible to get even with a helicopter. Continuity: In the Master Exploder Scene, towards the end you might notice that KG switches out between the Dragin guitar and the Warlock (black electric) Guitar. Continuity: After the first concert, back in the apartment, JB draws a perfectly straight pentacle with ketchup on the floor but in the next shot, one of the lines is crooked and the tape recorder has changed place. PLOT: SPOILER: Ben Stiller's character explains how Satan must remain in Hell until he is reunited with his tooth (AKA the Pick of Destiny). Therefore, Satan could not have been on Earth, posing as Paul F. Tompkins' character, as he was not joined with his tooth until he left Hell, which would violate the rules. |

He apologizes] JB: I did not mean... KG: He did not mean. JB: To blow your mind... KG: To blow your mind JB: But that shit happens to me... all the time! JB: What's it gonna be Kyle?

JB, KG: But lest you think we're vain. JB: We know you're all robots and we don't care! Tenacious D! We reign! Supreme, Oh, God! Burrito supreme, and a chicken supreme, and a cutlass supreme. Open Mic Host: We've got one spot left. You guys got any new material? JB: What we got's gonna turn your brain into shit. JB: [referring to tenac] I looked it up in the dictionary... it wasn't in there. JB: [narrating in song] A long-ass fuckin' time ago in a town called Kickapoo / There lived a humble family religious through and through / But yea there was a black sheep and he knew just what to do / His name was young JB and he refused to step in line / A vision he did see of fucking rocking all the time / He wrote a tasty jam and all the planets did align... [young JB enters playing a guitar] Lil' JB: [singing] Oh, the dragon's balls were blazin' as I stepped into his cave / Then I sliced his fucking cockles with my long and shiny blade / 'Twas I who fucked the dragon, fuckalye sing fuckaloo / And if you try to fuck with me then I shall fuck you too / Gotta get it on in the party zone / I gotsta shoot a load in party zone / Gotta lick a toad in the party zone / Gotta suck a choad in the party zone! [Jack's father takes him to his room and spanks him with his belt. A guitar riff is heard starting] Jack's Father: [singing] You disobeyed my orders son, why were you ever born? / Your brother's ten times better than you, Jesus loves him more / This music that you've played for us comes from the depths of Hell / Rock 'n' roll's the Devil's work, he wants you to rebel. [begins to tear down JB's rock 'n' roll posters] Jack's Father: You'll become a mindless puppet! Beelzebub will pull the strings! / Your heart will lose direction and chaos it will bring / You better shut your mouth, you better watch your tone / You're grounded for a week with no telephone / Don't let me hear ya cry, don't let me hear ya moan / You gotta praise the Lord when you're in my home! [Dad storms out, leaving only one poster: Ronnie James Dio] Lil' JB: [singing to the poster] Dio, can you hear me? I am lost and so alone / I'm asking for your guidance, won't you come down from your throne? / I need a tight compadre who will teach me how to rock / My father thinks you're evil, but, man, he can suck a cock / Rock is not the Devil's work, it's magical and rad / I'll never rock as long as I am stuck here with my dad. [the poster comes to life] Ronnie James Dio: [singing] I hear you brave young Jables, you are hungry for the rock / But to learn the ancient methods, secret doors you must unlock / Escape your father's clutches in this oppressive neighborhood / On a journey you must go to find the land of Hollywood / In the City of Fallen Angels, where the ocean meets the sand / You will form a strong alliance and the world's most awesome band / To find your fame and fortune, through the valley you must walk / You will face your inner demons, now go my son and ROCK! [JB jumps out the window and runs away from home] JB: [narrating in song] So he bailed from fucking Kickapoo with hunger in his heart / And he journeyed far and wide to find the secrets of his art / But in the end he knew that he would find his counterpart / Rock! / Rah-ha-ha-ha-hock / Rah-ha-ha-ha-ha... [babbles] JB: Rock! Girl #2: Excuse me, are you gonna charge us for all the refills? Truck Stop Waitress: [sarcastically] No, you're so pretty you'll get everything for free. KG: That's a pretty good deal. Open Mic Host: [comforting Tenacious D] You guys, having some satanic guitar pick isn't gonna make your rock any better... because Satan's not in a guitar pick, he's inside all of us. In here [taps their chests] in your hearts. He's what makes us not want to go to work, or exercise, or tell the truth. He's what makes us want to party and have sex with each other all night long. He's that little voice in your mind that says "Fuck you" to the people you hate. Now you can stay out here and fight on the ground and cry like babies, or you can go in there like friends and rock. So, what's it gonna be? KG: [determined] Let's go in there and show'em what Tenacious D is all about. JB: Yeah. I already got a guitar pick anyways. [holds up KG's pick] JB: POWERSLIDE! KG: [JB's first rocklesson] Lesson 1: the powerslide [turns on a video showing Pete Townshend performing a powerslide on stage] [turns it of again] JB: Hm... It's just sliding on your knees. KG: Is it? Or is it the single most powerful stage-move in any rocker's arsenal? JB: I've had this birth mark since I was born! KG: I have an ass-mark too! JB: [holding Satan's broken horn, casting a spell at him] From whence you came / you shall remain / until you are / complete again! Jack's Father: [JB see's his father in the "faces" of the Gig-simulator's crowd] You're nothing but a mistake. I should have worn a condom. JB: [looks out the window and sees a hot babe] WOW, check out that superfox. KG: You think you can handle a woman like that? JB: I think so. KG: Well, you better know so. Cause there's gonna be then times hotter once backstage at the Kyle Gass Project. JB: Really? KG: [nods his head] Sex is a crucial component to the Kyle Gass Project. Now drop and give me one cock push-up. JB: What's a cock push-up? KG: [Repeats JB like he is supposed to know what it means] What's a cock push-up? A cock push-up my friend, is when you lay on your stomach, and lift yourself of the ground with nothing but your boner. JB: No problem. KG: The cock is a muscle, you gotta learn how to flex it. From now on I want you to do one cock push-up a day, everyday. JB: It hurts my cock. KG: Keep at it, you never know when you'll need to fuck your way out of a tight situation. JB: I told you, we're just two fuckin' business men on our way to see some shit in Sacramento! The Stranger: I'm going to slice out your eyes, and your balls. And then I am going to stick your eyes in your ball sacks. And then I will take your balls, and I will put them in your eyeholes! Satan: I AM COMPLETE! KG, JB: FUUUUCKK! Satan: [singing] Yes you are fucked/Shit out of luck./Now I'm complete and my cock you will suck. This world shall be mine/ and you're first in line/You brought me the pick and now you shall both die! JB: [singing] WAIT, Wait, wait, you motherfucker! We chalenge you to a rock-off! Give us one chance to rock your socks off! Satan: FUCK! FUCK! Fuck! The demon code prevents me, from declining the rock off challenge. What are your terms? Whats the catch? JB: [singing] If we win you must take your sorry ass back to hell, and also you will have to pay our rent! Satan: And what if i win? JB: Then you can take Kage back to hell... KG: What? JB: Trust me, Kage. It's the only way! KG: What are you talking about? JB: To be your little bitch! Satan: Fine! Let the rock off begin! [laughs manically] Lee: [after the first show] That was amazing, you guys changed people's lives tonight. KG: I know, it was so awesome dude. JB: Yeah, it was awesome, compared to bullshit! KG: Go ahead and sleep on the power couch. Your training begins tomorrow, at the crack of noon. [first lines] JB: Ready, Kage? KG: Ready. JB: Let's do this. Fatty. [last lines] JB: Do not make a sound unless it's a masterpiece. Not a fuckin' sound. KG: [farts] Thought I felt something. JB: Let's hear that back. Open Mic Host: Since the beginning of time 'twas written in the stones that one day a band would come. Well that band has come and now they are here to cum again in your ear pussies. JB: This place is kinda... [chewing mushroom] Juicy. JB: Now our masterpiece will never happen because we won't be fueled by Satan! JB: What do you want, 'Non-Rocker'? This line is reserved for 'Rockers Only', so I can't really talk to you right now! KG: Go score me a dime-bag. JB: A what? KG: Ten dollars worth of weed. Now listen: Go down to Wake & Bake Pizza, ask for Jojo. Tell him you want the Bob Marley Extra Crispy. He'll know what you're talkin' about. JB: All right dude, roger that. One Extra Crispy comin' up! [hangs up phone] JB: Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child, you know I will be rockin' cause it's fucking insane! Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child, more precious than a diamond on a platinum chain! JB, KG: In Venice Beach, there was a man named Kage When he was buskin he was all the rage. He met Jables and he taught him well, all the techniques that were developed in hell. Cock pushups and the power slide, gig simulation now theres nowhere to hide. They formed a band they named Tenacious D, and then they got the Pick of Destiny. JB: Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child. You know I will be rockin' cause it's fucking insane! Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child, our tasty grooves are better than a chicken chow mein! JB, KG: Cause he who is sleazy, is easy to pleasy. And she who is juicy, must be loosy-goosey. And he who is groovy, will be in my movie, so come on! JB: The wizard and the demon had a battle royale, the demon almost killed him with an evil kapow, but then he broke his tooth and thus the demon said "OW" JB, KG: Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child, you know I will be rockin' cause it's fucking insane! Cause it's the Pick! Of Destiny child, you know our movie's better than Citizen Kane!

Cause if you're a diva, then go to Geneva. And if you're a crony, then suck on my bony. And if you are groovy, then get in my movie! It's called the Pick of Destiny! The Pick of Destiny. Truck Stop Waitress: What'll you have? KG: What do you recommend? Truck Stop Waitress: I recommend you order some food. KG: I'll have the fried chicken. And the steak... and the chicken-fried steak. Lee: Whoa! You guys putting on a concert? Can I watch? KG: Half off the pie? Lee: Dealio! KG: [voicemail] Hey, you've reached KG. You know what to do.
