THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Writer/Director Kevin Smith had quite a few battles with the MPAA while making this movie. When he first submitted this movie to the MPAA they slapped him with an NC-17 rating for all the swearing and nudity seen in this movie. Smith then re-edited the entire movie and again received the same movie-killing rating. He then appealed the decision and after several meetings finally got them to overturn their ruling and award him an R rating. But his battles were not over, when he released the poster for the movie it showed Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks fully clothed with their heads near each other's crotches (see image "A" above) and the MPAA banned the poster stating that it suggested oral sex. In response to this he released posters that poked fun at all the controversy surrounding the film and posters. The first was a poster featuring nothing but stick figures standing far apart (see image "B" above), and the other features the two actors smiling and surrounded by animated animals and a smiling sun (see image "C" above). Even after all of this the battles still did not end, the city of Philadelphia refused to allow any poster in the city because the title had the word "Porno" in it. Kevin Smith then offered to make a special poster just for them that called the movie just Zack And Miri and they city still would not allow any advertising in the city limit. When the movie finally came out many theater owners across the country refused to show the film, believing that because the movie was almost an NC-17 movie that even if the decision was over-turned it was still too lude for an R rating.
• The Weinsteins, who have a long history with Kevin Smith, green-lit this movie after hearing the title and without ever seeing a script.
• Kevin Smith has said that he wrote this movie with Seth Rogen in mind, and if Rogen declined the role that the film never would have been made.
• In this movie the cast tries to make a porn version of Star Wars called Star Whores. One of the actresses that appears in the scene is real-life porn actress Katie Morgan, who has appeared in an actual porn based on Star Trek called Sex Trek: Where No Man Has Cum B4.
