- GoofsWhen Oh first appears with gold paint, he has no eyeliner. Midway through his conversation, he has thick black eyeliner.
- Crazy creditsSeveral bloopers are shown during the first half of the end credits.
- Alternate versionsThe UK release was cut, this film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. The BBFC advised the distributor that the film was likely to receive a 15 classification but that the requested 12A classification could be obtained by making changes to dialogue. In particular the BBFC suggested that the distributor remove the line, "my thingy smells like lamb chops" when a character talks about 'multiplying with sheep'; that they remove the line, "did you know he can put his penis in his mouth, the whole thing"; and the line "his poor rectum is absolutely pulverised, which is not usual for a sheep in this region". When the finished version of the film was submitted these changes had been made and the film was classified 12A.

Featured review
Worth a laugh
The film keeps itself from being too thoughtful by focusing on the pop culture knowledge of history and blending it with modern societal norms to create comedic situations. There are plenty of scenes that will give you laughs that pass as abruptly as they come and a few that are longer lasting. From crude sexual humor to semi-intelligent humor this film targets younger audiences that can look at religion in a comedic light. Most of the jokes for this film are at the expense of the Jewish and Christian religion. By no means is this a proper history lesson for anyone and shouldn't be viewed by ages 15 and under without parental permission. That said it is a funny film throughout. If you enjoy buddy films this one will deliver; especially if you are out with friends who enjoy seeing Jack Black's high energy humor and Micheal Cera's awkward teenager humor as they are pretty much in every scene.
