- TriviaAccording to Kel Mitchell, Abe Vigoda, who was 76 at the time of filming, was able to run and climb over fences on set despite his age.
- GoofsWhen the Demented Hills patients are dancing, one man is in a straitjacket. It alternates between open and closed.
- Crazy creditsThe crew and second unit are headlined as "Good Crew" and "Good Second Unit".
- Alternate versionsWhen this movie originally aired on Nickelodeon, two actors from the original film were brought into brief recording sessions to both re-dub two lines that were deem inappropriate for a kids network. Abe Vigoda's line "I think I broke my ass" was changed to "I think I broke my tail", while George Clinton changes his "Ooh, this music sucks" to "Ooh, this music stinks". The original lines were revived when the movie aired on Nick@Nite in 2007.

Featured review
I must admit that when I sat down to watch this 1997 movie titled "Good Burger" I wasn't really having much of any high expectations or hopes for the movie. But still, it being a movie that I hadn't already seen was sufficient to make me give the movie a chance.
And "Good Burger" was actually an adequate movie. Sure, it was aimed at a younger audience, as this was a Nickelodeon movie after all. But still, the movie had a good enough storyline that proved to be entertaining enough for a single viewing.
It was a combination of a whacky storyline and some odd characters that actually made "Good Burger" worthwhile watching. I mean, the storyline wasn't exactly storytelling at a grandiose level, but it just had something charming about that actually worked well in its favor.
Needless to say that the odd characters were nicely brought to life on the screen by the two lead actors, those being Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson. But the movie also had great support performances from the likes of Sinbad and Abe Vigoda.
I am sure that a younger audience will most certainly find some greater enjoyment in "Good Burger".
My rating of this 1997 movie from writers Dan Schneider, Kevin Kopelow and Heath Seifert lands on a six out of ten stars.
