Did You Know?
-After Rocky(Mel Gibson) leaves, a joke about him arises. Bunty remarks "I don't even think he was American". This is a reference to the fact that most think Mel is an "Aussie", born in Australia. But he was born in New York and moved there when he was 12
-When Rocky is tuning the radio, a short burst of music is heard. This is the opening theme from The Archers, a long running British drama series on BBC Radio 4. This show is currently still running as of 2006
-The sign post in the movie reads: Halifax 32, Lancaster 40, Sunderland 59. These are the names of old British warplanes from WWII and also town names
-Edwina, the chicken who can't lay eggs, is named after Edwina Currie, whose career involved an egg situation in the UK
-Fowler, the chicken with all the RAF decorations on him, mentions 644 Squadron RAF. This really existed. It was formed in 1944 and used Halifax bombers to tow the glider planes across the channel during the D-Day landings
-Ginger and Rocky were named after 2 chickens Nick Park had as a child
