Joe Dirt trivia

• Roseanne and Gary Busey were originally cast as Joe Dirt's parents. After shooting the scene director Dennie Gordon decided that Roseanne's star-power was too distracting, and opted to re-shoot the scene with Caroline Aaron and Fred Ward.

• Near the end of the movie, Clem is referred to as "Gert B. Frobe". Gert Fröbe was a German actor perhaps best known for the title role of the James Bond film Goldfinger (1964).

• Each time Robby (Kid Rock) gets dust in Joe's face with his car, the song "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" is playing. This happens 3 times.

• Kid Rock's character name is "Robby". Kid Rock's real name is Robert Ritchie.
