Whatever I feel like I wanna do, GOSH!

Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

[jason]

I see you're drinking 1%. Is that 'cause you think you're fat? 'Cause you're not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

Pedro: Do you think people will vote for me?
Napoleon Dynamite: Heck yes! I'd vote for you.
Pedro: Like what are my skills?
Napoleon Dynamite: Well, you have a sweet bike. And you're really good at hooking up with chicks. Plus you're like the only guy at school who has a mustache.

What you wanna bet I could throw that football a quarter-mile? Hell, I bet I could throw it clear over those mountains.

[jason]

Uncle Rico: What about your girlfriend?
Kip: Well, things are getting pretty serious right now. I mean, we chat online for, like, two hours every day so I guess you could say things are gettin' pretty serious.

[big daddy russ]

Exactly, but with more one-liners

[JasperDog94]

More?:eek: :eek:

[big daddy russ]

More.

[big daddy russ]

Well, they're a little more subtle.

The name "Napoleon Dynamite" is a pseudonym used by Elvis Costello for his 1986 album, "Blood and Chocolate". Executive producer Jeremy Coon has stated that the similarity is a coincidence and that the producers were unaware of Costello's usage of the name until the film was in production.


Every dish shown during the opening credits is eaten by a character later in the movie. The dishes presented in the opening credits were the work of the three people who present them.


Due to the film's surprise success at festivals and at the major city box offices, Fox Searchlight is going to re-release the film with nationwide distribution and add a 5 minute epilogue at the end of the film. This epilogue, which was filmed after the initial theatrical run, apparently features a surprise "wedding scene". And cost about half of what the entire feature cost to make.


Jon Gries (Uncle Rico) was asked to do many scenes in which he was eating steak. Gries, who is a vegetarian, would chew the steak and later spit it out. In fact, there is one scene, in which you can see Gries spitting the chewed meat into his hand.


In the second cafeteria scene, when Napolean and Pedro discuss prospective dance dates, Napolean is wearing a Ricks College t-shirt. Ricks College was a junior college in Idaho that maintained close association with Brigham Young University up until 2000, when Ricks was formally named an official satellite of BYU, henceforth BYU-Idaho. Jared and Jerusha Hess, the film's co-writers, both attended BYU.


Features one of the longest credited cast lists in movie history; all 181 student extras' names are listed in the closing credits.


The movie was edited in producer Jeremy Coon's apartment using a $6,000 Macintosh with Final Cut Pro.


Behind-the-scenes at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival, Fox Searchlight engaged in a bidding war with Warner Independent Pictures over the distribution rights to this movie, until Fox Searchlight put in a last-minute bid of over $3 million, and won. They would later join forces with Paramount Pictures and MTV Films to distribute the film, a mere 17 days before its release.

Don: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?

Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!

Don: Did you shoot any?

Napoleon Dynamite: Yes, like 50 of 'em! They kept trying to attack my cousins, what the heck would you do in a situation like that?

Don: What kind of gun did you use?

Napoleon Dynamite: A freakin' 12-gauge, what do you think?

[kaorder1999]

Napoleon Dynamite: You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.

---------------------------------------

Uncle Rico: Kip, I reckon... you know a lot about... cyberspace? You ever come across anything... like time travel?

Kip: Easy, I've already looked into it for myself.

Uncle Rico: Right on... right on.

[kaorder1999]

Uncle Rico: I wish you wouldn't look at me like that, Napoleon.

Napoleon Dynamite: I wish you'd get out of my life and shut up!

Uncle Rico: I'm gonna tell you somethin' right now. While you're out there playing patty cake with your friend Pedro, your Uncle

Rico is makin' 120 bucks.

Napoleon Dynamite: I could make that much money in five seconds!

Kip: Geez. Yeah right, Napoleon. I made, like, 75 bucks today.

Uncle Rico: Napoleon, it's looks like you don't have a job. So why don't you get out there and feed Tina.

Napoleon Dynamite: Why don't you go eat a decroded piece of crap!

[Manck]

I caught you a delicious bass...

This movie can't be a great one like "Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail".
.
I mean, "It's just a flesh wound!" is still used today. :D :D :D

[District303aPastPlayer]

you got like three feet of air that time. .

[Bulldog_12]

Pedro: Did you draw her a picture?
Napolean: Heck Yeah I Did!!!!!

It was an ok movie. Some of the one-liners were funny, but it was SOOOOO pointless. I wouldnt watch it a second time. I will admit, it was good for a couple of laughs the first time. The picture thing for the prom date was pretty funny though.

[JasperDog94]

Time will tell if it belongs up there with the great ones.

[Panther Ross]

Tina you fat lard come get your dinner. EAT THE FOOD!

Now just imagine yourself floating on a cloud with tiny seahorses.
