Today is the 10-year anniversary of Pineapple Express, and Seth Rogen is sharing fun facts about the movie.


All of these facts came directly from Seth's Twitter account.In Pineapple Express, me and my co-writer Evan had to roll all the cross joints needed to film (about 100) ourselves because nobody else on the crew could roll them properly.The name Pineapple Express was around for years before the movie. It’s a Hawaiian weather system that sometimes hits the Pacific Northwest, which is where we’re from. Evan heard the name and said “that would be a great name for a movie.” Years later we found a perfect fit.There was NO strain of weed called Pineapple Express when we made the movie. We said “if one day, people are out there selling weed called Pineapple Express, it worked”.Throughout the fight scene in Red’s house in Pineapple Express, I broke my finger and Danny McBride got his head cracked open when Franco hit him with the bong.The reason Saul wears a headband in Pineapple Express is the result of another injury. There’s a shot (that’s in the movie) when we are running through the woods, Franco hits his head on a tree. He actually hit his head on a screw that was holding a pad in place and got stitches.Red refers to his ex-wife having gotten out of jail recently. There’s a pic of Red and his ex wife, who was played by Stormy Daniels.We wrote Pineapple Express express for me to play Saul and Franco to play Dale. James wanted to switch roles, and I didn’t care that much, so we did.The shots of the dick drawings on the principals desk in Superbad was actually filmed on the set of Pineapple Express in the woods while we were shooting Dale and Saul destroying their cell phones.Red was originally supposed to die the first time he was shot when he was tied up in his apartment, but we thought Danny Mcbride was so funny that we just kept bringing him back to life.While we were filming the scene where Red is taped to the chair in Pineapple Express, Danny had to actually be taped in the chair all day and we couldn’t let him out because it took too long to put him back.Originally, Red killed Matheson with a Ford Fiesta, but Ford didn’t want their car involved in a movie murder so we had to change it to a Daewoo Lanos, which is ultimately much funnier I think.Huey Lewis and the News recorded an original theme song for Pineapple Express. We were inspired by our favorite 80s movies that had rock songs with their titles.We had a Pineapple Express smoking billboard on Sunset Blvd. that got shut down by the fire department because people kept thinking it was on fire.The song Paper Planes by MIA does not actually appear in the movie Pineapple Express, just the trailer.Of all the weird references in Pineapple Express, my favorite is to the fact that Matheson is wearing “British Knights”, because when I was a kid I wore the fuck out of my BK’s.Saul calls his shit weed “Snicklefritz” because it’s what our practical FX supervisor would call his second in command when he didn’t like what he was doing and we thought it was hilarious.Kanye came to the premiere of Pineapple Express. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2vMroYq
