    I think they had Famke Janssen (Miss Elizabeth Burke) say the line "...you could've made up your finals last summer and you wouldn't have had to repeat your senior year" to Josh Harnett's character (Zeke) so it would make him a little older (18/19) - although teacher/student relationships are still icky.

    Hey guys. If yall don't mind me helping yall out a little bit on some of the actors in this film. The afro guy always asking Zeke for more of the drug he makes is Danny Masterson, who plays Hyde in "That 70s Show", Clea Duvall who plays Stokley, is also in a later 2000s film with John Cusack "Identity", I'm sure yall recognized Robert Patrick, who plays the coach, is in a ton of other movies but famously known for playing T-1000 in Termintor 2: Judgement Day, of course John Stewart who has his own night show but is in alot of Adam Sandler films, Jordana Brewster who plays Mia in the world-wide Fast And Furoius franchise, Elijah Wood as we all know Frodo from the LOTR franchise, Salma Hayek who is in alot of other films, Usher, 2ho we know as a musician, Famke Jansen, who is in alot but famously plays Lenore in the Taken series and plays Jean Grey in X-Men series and Josh Hartnett who we all know from many other things as well but just recently made a comeback in theatrical films starring in M. Night Shyamalan's Trap that just recently released.

    This is a movie that I haven't seen in at least a couple of years. And I had forgotten most of it until I started watching this reaction. Then I started to remember parts of it. I had forgotten that Josh Hartnett was in it, but I did remember that Elijah Wood was in it.
    For more Josh Hartnett, I very highly recommend the 2001 "Pearl Harbor"(love that movie). And his newest movie "Trap" from this year.
    Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

      Oh really?? I didn’t know that! Ok, so pack a small bag, because we’re about to go out on a tangent.. This addresses something that I noticed but didn’t mention in the reaction: It looked to me like Tweaker #2 was Wiley Wiggins, an actor I don’t see much of but recognize from one of my favorite movies, Dazed and Confused. Like the writer/director of that movie, Wiley is also from Austin TX, where D&C was filmed. Plus, Elijah Woods’s mom in this played the mayor on the tv show Friday Night Lights, also filmed in Austin. So anyway, long story short (too late), you have given me resolution on my unasked question of a Texas connection. Thanks!!

    Okay i was only gonna leave that one comment i just did but just came across a pretty good laugh and cant ignore it (in a positive way). Watching Joshs character Zeke drive up to that police barracade then says "Fuck It" and turns a hard right and speeds off then all of a sudden we hear "Really? Right In Front Of The Cops". Made me almost choke on my dinner laughing cause a thought ran through my mind right after you said that "Did Yall Forget There Was an Alien Invasion hapoening and they got to the whole town including the PD so thats why they had that Barracade up to make sure no one could leave the town before they could do their thing and continue spreading it? " 😂😂

And Marc said, "How does a waterfall freeze solid like that?? It doesn't look that cold there." And I told him, "You just saw two people fly in ON DRAGONS, but the frozen waterfall is where they lost you??"
