Movie Trivia – American Pie 2
Memorable Movie Quotes
Stifler: Jim. Can’t you keep your shirt on? You’re scaring the chicks away.
Jim’s Dad: You may be Jimbo, or Jumbo, or Jimbodini to those guys in there, but there are still two people who haven’t forgotten where James Emmanuel Levenstein came from. We’re awful proud of you son.
Jim: Thanks, Dad.
Jim’s Dad: Don’t forget your penis cream.
Jim: I kind of super-glued myself to… uh… myself.
Jim: Nadia, I *am* a band geek. I just never joined the band.
Jessica: The rule of three. It’s an exact science. Consistent as gravity.
Stifler: When a girl tells you how many guys she’s slept with, multiply it by three and that’s the real number. Didn’t you fuckers learn anything in college?
Jim’s Dad: Keep it real homies.
Stifler: I got peed on!
Trivia
Bill Paxton was originally cast as Stifler’s dad but had to leave the project due to his schedule.
The first rehearsal with director James B. Rogers was at a strip club in LA.
Nadia’s first scene was actually shot in downtown LA, not New York. The World Trade Center towers were composited into the skyline. Yellow cabs and hot dog vendors were added for effect.
Several parts of the band camp scenes were shot at Camp JCA Shalom in Malibu.
The zip code shown on the post card to Jim from Nadia is for Spring Lake, Michigan.
The movie originally included scenes featuring Stifler’s dad. These were removed after negative reaction in test screenings. Also missing from the theatrical release is a scene showing the band camp leader with a rash around his mouth, the morning after having played the trumpet that was inserted into Jim’s ass.
In the scene when Alyson Hannigan (Michelle) is “breaking up” with Jim, her hair is styled differently than normal. This is because she was shooting an episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and she ran over to the set during a break.
The band 3 Doors Down recorded an alternate version of their song “Be Like That” for the soundtrack. The first 2 lines were different than the version on their album “The Better Life”.
Goofs
On the back of Nadia’s postcard from Philadelphia the caption reads “Prickly Cactus” not the liberty bell, as pictured on the front.
The plants in the movie do not grow in Michigan. They all are planted species in Southern California.
Downtown Grant Harbor is actually downtown Seal Beach, California. The trees on the street do not grow in Michigan.
When the guys get done driving through downtown “Grant Harbor” they take a left and you can see a huge pier sticking out into “Lake Michigan.” There are no large piers in Lake Michigan that look like this, a typical Southern California ocean pier.
At the beach house, the waves in “Lake Michigan” are too large for it to be the real Lake Michigan on a sunny calm day.
When Jim glues himself, he has the movie glued to his hand and cannot do anything with his hands. He has no shoes on and even takes a shower. But when he goes out on the roof to get the paint thinner he miraculously was able to not only put on his shoes, but also tie the laces as well.
