Tagline: The touching story of a boy and his right hand.
Trivia: Both Eldon Henson’s and Seth Green’s character names (Mick & Pnub) are based on the SNL skit where Eddie Murphy played an illiterate character named Buckwheat, who sang popular (at the time) songs in a way that he wasn’t understood half the time. In one skit, he sings the song “Lookin’ for Love” and sings “Wookin’ pa nub in a da wong paces…” It can be heard on the commentary that both Mick’s and Pnub’s names are based on this skit. (If you say “Mick & Pnub” quickly it almost sounds exactly alike.)
Goofs: Continuity: When Anton microwaves the hand and blood spatters on the inside of the microwave, the position and pattern of the blood on the microwave window changes between shots.
“Seventeen year old slacker Anton Tobias wakes up one Halloween morning to discover that both of his parents have been turned into two headless Halloween decorations. After speaking to his equally irresponsible friends, Mick and Pnub, he discovers that his right hand has a blood-thirsty mind of its own and is hell-bent on wreaking havoc whether he likes it or not.
