Notes
Also Known As:
Strange Brew (USA) (short title)
The Adventures of Bob &sDoug McKenzie

Trivia: The basic plot as well as many of the name of the brewing company are references to William Shakespeare's "Hamlet". The castle in "Hamlet" was Elsinore. The heir to Elsinore's father was murdered by her uncle, who then comes to her as a ghost. (more)

Goofs: Continuity: In the scene where Bob and Doug are pulled up to the signs showing them which direction to go (The Insane Asylum, the Castle, the Brewery, etc) the first shot of them sitting in the cab show the dice hanging from their mirror have the sides showing the two dots. After a quick view of the signs we are shown the boys in the cab again but this time the dice have changed and we see the sides showing four dots on each one. (more)

Quotes: Pam Elsinore: [referring to Bob] I can't believe it! He drank it all! (more)
