Other possibilities include the script Crassius Curio is known to have worked on for some time titled "Good Fellow, Where Is My Guar?" in which an Argonian and a Khajjit, who have partaken in too much skooma, lose their Guar and travel the length of Vvardenfell looking for it ultimately resulting in contact with Daedra Princes, kidnappings and general mayhem.
"Dude, Where's My Car?" was writen by Philip Stark and directed by Danny Leiner. It is available on VHS and DVD from Amazon.com.
