 Three versions of the introduction were scripted (only two filmed). The  original, short opening had TS and Brodie blowing a lead on Collegiate  Quizbowl when Brodie mispronounces Biscay as Bisquick. He trips over a  mike while going to fight a Seton Hall heckler, and electrocutes the host.  This opening remains unfilmed. The studio requested above mentioned opening  (with the Governors Ball and the shooting). Much footage had to be dubbed,  reshot, or edited because of the opening change (it eliminated an entire  subplot as camera crews chased TS, and people recognized him though often for  the wrong crime). The third ending had two variants in and of itself. The  movie would open near the end, with Brodie on the stage of Truth Or Date,  where he would introduce the cast via voice overs, then tell about himself,  his birth in a fast food joint that was now a tanning salon, how the place  changed since then, and how he was the only constant. A second version  featured a completely different voice over commentary, relating a story about  how his father had been hurled from his wifes grandparents house after  kissing the grandmother shortly after having oral sex. (This story is in the  first variant, but Brodie says it was he who was caught.) A TV version  mangles a great many scenes, editing all the language, drug references, most  of the violence, and any product placement (the Diet Coke cup is cropped out,  the references to Jaws and Universal are pulled, and some very awkward  zooming is used on Ivana).
