26. "No, you're wrong! MAAAAAAAAGE!"
27. Making of D&D Book Highlights: "Mazes and Monsters [...] kept alive the fantasy that taking Dungeons & Dragons too seriously could have damaging consequences", right next to a photograph of a man standing in a car park, dressed as a wizard.
28. Courtney Solomon spent ten years raising the money to get the film made, making it the physical embodiment of "1% inspiration, 99% perspiration".
29. "The problem with elves is that they ain't got no meet on them. What you gotta do is get yerself a nice 250lb dwarf! Hair on her chin ya can hang on to! YYYEEEEEAAAHH!"
30. The Dwarf hits people with the flat of his axe.
31. The Dwarf lives in a pile of garbage under a sign that says "No Dwarfs Allowed".
32. Commentary Highlights: "Your heroic fantasies often involve babes in bikinis. Most female players are disgusted by that, and if a male brings it up, they are likely to find themselves in a combat situation (chuckle)"
33. The fact the guy with blue lips also has tentacles coming out of his ears makes him "a champagne villain", according to Courtney Solomon.
34. The Dwarf, after giving one of the two black characters the once-over, says "They all look the same to me". Sure, he's talking about elves, but still.
35. Courtney Solomon talks like The Nutty Professor. With a lisp.
36. Upon being accused of murder, the characters all disguise themselves by donning enormous black cloaks and walking through the middle of a crowded market while everyone stares at them.
37. Courtney Solomon is allergic to bees.
38. Justin Whalin willingly risked his life by standing in front of a 400lb axe in order to make a half-second scene more exciting. That's real commitment.
39. Commentary Highlights: "Marlon's got skin-tight pants. THEY LOOK LIKE SKIN WITH POCKETS!"
40. According to Rotten Tomatoes, this movie got 11% positive reviews. That's 10% lower than the mean average of Rob Schneider's career.
41. There was only enough money for three orcs, so they just hang around a tavern doing nothing.
42. What the hell is this guy supposed to be?
43. "Hah, Ridley the Saviour? That'll be the day!" is still not as bad as the foreshadowing in The Matrix.
44. Marlon Wayans plays a completely anachronistic fast-talking black guy without the slightest whiff of self-awareness.
45. Courtney Solomon laughs like Ernie.
46. The DVD has two commentary tracks, both of which feature Courtney Solomon.
47. DVD Extras Highlights: "When I finally got a girlfriend, I had to co-opt her into playing, because I didn't want to have to choose between having a girlfriend and playing Dungeons & Dragons".
48. Numerous pieces of foreshadowing which now mean nothing because all the main characters were abandoned for the sequel.
49. There are over 100 dragons on-screen simultaneously in the final battle, which I think is supposed to make up for the fact the movie contains no dungeons.
50. DVD Extras Highlights: "I've taken what I call 'The Star Wars Approach'".
