    • Trivia
      The list of names Joe Dirt reads on the tour bus are the same as the ones a teacher called for attendance in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986).
    • Goofs
      When Joe is talking to the man at the car dealership about the old Rambler wagon his parents owned, the man tells him that car came with a "6cyl, automatic with three on the tree" A three on the tree is a manual transmission not an automatic
    • Quotes

      Joe Dirt: So you're gonna tell me that you don't have no black cats, no Roman Candles, or screaming mimis?

      Kicking Wing: No.

      Joe Dirt: Oh come on, man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?

      Kicking Wing: No, I don't.

      Joe Dirt: You're gonna stand there, ownin' a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistlin' bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don'ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin' kitty chaser?

      Kicking Wing: No... because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.

      Joe Dirt: Well that might be your problem, it's not what you like, it's the consumer.

    • Alternate versions

    'Joe' is hilarious!

    As a young boy, Joe [David Spade] got seperated from his parents [Caroline Aaron and Fred Ward]. Ever since then he's spent his life on a journey to find them. On his journey he meets a nice girl named Brandy [Brittany Daniel], a Fireworks salesman named Kicking Wing [Adam Beach], and a friendly janitor named Clem [Christopher Walken]. David Spade is great in this hilarious adventure/comedy full of crude humor. It also has a fantastic soundtrack featuring classic songs from Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick, The Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eddie Money, Joe Walsh, and more!
