Trivia:
Until this film, Meat Loaf had not sang in a movie since The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) because he wanted to be accepted in the industry as a serious actor. He even thought that his appearance in "The Pick of Destiny" would "ruin" him, but he took the role of JB's father any way.
more
Goofs:
Errors in geography: When young JB leaves home and a map is shown with an animated line following his travels, the town "Charlotte" appears on the map twice, in both North Carolina and South Carolina. There is no Charlotte, South Carolina, the place marked on the map as "Charlotte" in SC is about where Greenville, SC should be. All other towns marked on the map of the country are correct.

Just saw it at as closing film of Austin Film Festival. Going in, a had seen a few snippets of their act at Alamo Drafthouse, and thought the trailer was amusing but I wasn't expecting such an epic theme music and the use of tarot cards is genius in the title sequence. Watch out for cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins, and the dark lord himself (who has a fetish for KG). So much over-the-top fun and the songs are so catchy. The car chase was by far my favorite scene. I know this will earn cult status right away and win over some new Tenacious D fans, just like me. I hope this does well in the theaters.
