Damn 20 years old.. Fun facts.

some disputed about #18
 
that's all great info, i caught it on starz not too long ago, haven't watched it in years. That was a big college movie for me
 
When I first saw it, I remember thinking the characters & dialogue were so cool & hip.
Now when I watch it, I wish Samuel L. Jackson would shut up & the dance-contest scenes had half as many lines.

Aside from those, there are still some great scenes. every part with Eric Stoltz is great... the Watch, great. The Harvey Keitel, Mr. Wolf part, great.
