Locations

This show was filmed...

in STV's newly renovated studio

under the Bell Tower
at the Old Well
in front of Ben & Jerry's
a room that is not 210 Old East

During its vaudeville days,
R.A.V.E. took a nation thirsting for
entertainment and provided it with the
sweet sweet liquor of violence.

 

Interesting Factoids

*Half of this episode was filmed in April 1998*
*The other half was filmed in September 1998*
*Some clips didn't make the final cut for time reasons*
*Ward and Pete Fight Their Way Across Campus and Fanatic were totally improvised*
*The face in the space suit is that of narrator Pete Shelton*
*The number 3825 appears twice in the clones clip*
*This was the first episode edited in a nonlinear fashion*

 

Continuity Errors

Jackson holds the door open for Lencia in a spectacular jump cut.
Numerous position errors in the improvised clips.

 

Killing and Violence Starting Lines

Ricky - "I knew I shouldn't have married a stupid gringo."

Jackson - "Look, you don't have to say something that goes along with what I just said. For instance--HAHH!"

Jackson - "You know what you are to me, buddy-row? Form 3825: Clone(s) killed."

Pete - "So Ward, what do you feel like doing today?"
Ward - "I dunno, Pete...I feel like...fighting my way across the UNC campus."

Simon Belmont - "Would you like the Gimp to autograph your head?"
Trevor - "NOOOO!!"
