Strange Brew Trivia Questions
1. What film did Bob claim that his brother Doug "had seen 17 times, eh"?

From Quiz "Strange Brew" - Bob & Doug Movie Trivia

Answer: Return of the Jedi

At one point, Bob says "He saw 'Jedi' 17 times, eh!". What isn't obvious, two decades later, is that "Return of the Jedi" opened in May 1983, while production of "Strange Brew" had wrapped up five months earlier, in December 1982. Not only hadn't the McKenzie brothers seen "Jedi" - but they couldn't refer to it by its full title, since the "Revenge"/"Return" issue was still up in the air while they were filming.

2. "I want you hosers to get me a fresh case of beer first thing in the morning!"
