Popsugar Entertainment Nostalgia Pineapple Express 10th Anniversary Twitter Facts Seth Rogen Delights the Internet With Pineapple Express Facts For Its 10th Anniversary 7 August 2018 by Mekishana Pierre Image Source: Everett Collection It's been 10 years since Seth Rogen, Judd Apatow, and Evan Goldberg brought us the stoner classic that is Pineapple Express, and honestly, I'm just thankful it hasn't been rebooted by now. The comedy follows a process server (Rogen) and his weed dealer (James Franco) who witness a murder and then go on the run from hitmen and a corrupt police officer. There's really no way to explain the magic that happens when Rogen, Franco, Danny McBride, and the rest of the cast are onscreen — you just have to see to believe. In celebration of the 10th anniversary, Rogen took to Twitter to share some stories about everything that went on behind the scenes, why McBride's character wouldn't die, and more interesting tidbits. Check out some of the highlights from his Twitter fact drop, and use today as an excuse to enjoy the insanity that is Pineapple Express again. #PineappleExpress came out ten years ago today. Here’s some fun facts about the movie! pic.twitter.com/8dMjT2YKyE— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 1 / 21 In #PineappleExpress, me and my co-writer Evan had to roll all the cross joints needed to film (about 100) ourselves because nobody else on the crew could roll them properly.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 2 / 21 The name #PineappleExpress was around for years before the movie. It’s a Hawaiian weather system that sometimes hits the Pacific Northwest, which is where we’re from. Evan heard the name and said “that would be a great name for a movie.” Years later we found a perfect fit.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 3 / 21 There was NO strain of weed called #PineappleExpress when we made the movie. We said “if one day, people are out there selling weed called Pineapple Express, it worked”.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 4 / 21 Throughout the fight scene in Red’s house in #PineappleExpress, I broke my finger and Danny McBride got his head cracked open when Franco hit him with the bong.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 5 / 21 The reason Saul wears a headband in #PineappleExpress is the result of another injury. There’s a shot (that’s in the movie) when we are running through the woods, Franco hits his head on a tree. He actually hit his head on a screw that was holding a pad in place and got stitches.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 6 / 21 In #PineappleExpress, Red refers to his ex wife having gotten out of jail recently. There’s a pic of Red and his ex wife, who was played by Stormy Daniels.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 7 / 21 We wrote #PineappleExpress express for me to play Saul and Franco to play Dale. James wanted to switch roles, and I didn’t care that much, so we did.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 8 / 21 The shots of the dick drawings on the principals desk in Superbad was actually filmed on the set of #PineappleExpress in the woods while we were shooting Dale and Saul destroying their cell phones.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 9 / 21 In #PineappleExpress, Red was originally supposed to die the first time he was shot when he was tied up in his apartment, but we thought Danny Mcbride was so funny that we just kept bringing him back to life.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 10 / 21 While we were filming the scene where Red is taped to the chair in #PineappleExpress, Danny had to actually be taped in the chair all day and we couldn’t let him out because it took too long to put him back. pic.twitter.com/vBmmcRTuiL— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 11 / 21 I did my 99% of my own stunts in #PineappleExpress, (which might explain all the injuries) including this one: pic.twitter.com/DrV9jF1wIS— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 12 / 21 I heard you once say that you were so hungover in this shot that you vomited right before?— Your Mom (@Pattiwithaneye) August 6, 2018 13 / 21 Haha. That’s true.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 14 / 21 In #PineappleExpress, originally, Red killed Matheson with a Ford Fiesta, but Ford didn’t want their car involved in a movie murder so we had to change it to a Daewoo Lanos, which is ultimately much funnier I think.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 15 / 21 Huey Lewis and the News recorded an original theme song for #PineappleExpress. We were inspired by our favorite 80s movies that had rock songs with their titles. Here he is performing it on Kimmel: https://t.co/nXVbuiW9z0 via @YouTube— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 16 / 21 We DID have a smoking billboard for #PineappleExpress that got shut down by the fire department because people keep thinking it was on fire. https://t.co/UslrDgNyuN— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 17 / 21 The song Paper Planes by MIA does not actually appear in the movie #PineappleExpress, just the trailer.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 18 / 21 Of all the weird references in #PineappleExpress, my favorite is to the fact that Matheson is wearing “British Knights”, because when I was a kid I wore the fuck out of my BK’s.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 19 / 21 In #PineappleExpress, Saul calls his shit weed “Snicklefritz” because it’s what our practical FX supervisor would call his second in command when he didn’t like what he was doing and we thought it was hilarious.— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) August 6, 2018 20 / 21 I’ve got one. Bryan Cranston auditioned. He may have even read at a table read and I said “I don’t think he seems scary enough to seem like a real drug dealer.” If he did PE maybe the Breaking Bad people would have said, “not him, he always plays drug dealers.” https://t.co/YqJE1pr2QH— Judd Apatow (@JuddApatow) August 7, 2018 21 / 21 NostalgiaMoviesTwitterPineapple ExpressSeth Rogen
