Pineapple Express is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. In celebration, Seth Rogen has shared a series of facts over Twitter about the movie. Given that some of them are quite frankly hilarious, we’ve decided to ensemble our favorites into a list. Without further ado, here are our 10 favorite facts we just learned about Pineapple Express.
- Rogen and Evan Goldberg had to roll 100 odd cross-shaped joints because nobody else on the crew could roll them properly.
- The name Pineapple Express did not originate in the movie. It’s a Hawaiin weather system.
- While filming the fight scene at Red’s house, Rogen broke his finger and Danny McBride got his head cracked open by a bong.
- They originally wrote the movie for Seth to play Saul and Franco to play Dale but ended up switching.
- Red was originally supposed to die the first time he was shot, but they thought he was so funny they kept bringing him back to life.
- In the scene where Red is taped to a chair, Danny was actually taped to a chair and had to stay there all day because it took too long to put him back.
- Rogen did 99% of his own stunts in the movie.
- Saul calls his worst weed “Snicklefritz” in the movie because Rogen’s practical FX supervisor used to use it as an insult when he didn’t like what his second-in-command was doing, and they thought it was hilarious.
- Kanye West came to the Pineapple Express premiere.
- Bryan Cranston actually auditioned for the movie and Judd Apatow said he didn’t seem “scary enough to be a drug dealer.” Oh the irony!
