I removed "* Renée Zellweger has an unbilled non-speaking appearance in this film as one of her very early roles. (She may be uncredited but she does have dialogue in at least one cut of the film. She apologizes to a few freshmen girls for the hazing they about to endure.)"
I think whoever wrote this comment confused Renee Zellweger with Joey Lauren Adams, who is the credited cast member who spoke the lines referred to.
This is the top article from googling "Renee Zellweger" and "Dazed and Confused". However, if you read down the search, there are a lot of other articles independent of each other which say the same thing, that Renee Zellweger appeared or at least filmed scenes for this film (including her own wikipedia entry). I'm going to put this back into trivia in a few weeks time if no-one objects or wishes to beat me to it because they can verify it.
http://www.hollywood.com/celebs/detail/id/188546
"A blonde, bee-stung-lipped rising female lead, Renee Zellweger has gone from Gen-X movies to Hollywood property. She made her film debut while still a teenager in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" (1986) and later was Jenny, the terrorized wallflower, in "Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1995). But it was her turn as Starlene, the moll to fleeing Gil Bellows, in "Love and a .45" (1994) that made Hollywood take notice. In between, Zellweger also had small roles in "Dazed and Confused" (1993) and "Reality Bites" (1994).... "
OK, I asked treasly on imdb and the consensus seems to be that Renee Zellweger was in the movie but uncredited. Someone also showed me some screenshots, so I'm going to put back in the trivia that Renee Zellweger had an uncredited appearance if that's OK with everyone. Shan246
Any reason why this keeps getting deleted from the trivia? It seems to be a true fact on what I can find and I would have thought an uncredited appearance by an actress who went on to win an Academy Award in the future amongst other things would be reasonably significant. Certainly more so than some of the other (though still significant enough to be included) trivia here. Shan246
In watching the movie, she definitely does not receive a credit. She may be in a brief scene at the Moon Tower outdoor party where she is holding a hose and funnel while someone is drinking beer from it and some of the main actors are walking by in conversation.
I removed "This is one of the first few high school-themed films to show the realism of classes and life." it's poorly written and unsourced and also unspecific. Does the film show realism? I'd argue it's 'exaggerated realism'. Eine 01:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
While it might seem somewhat exaggerated, once you get into the CURRENT teenage culture in high school, let alone '70s high school culture, I'd say it's fairly accurate.
Is there any real purpose in the "When the nerds discuss then president Gerald Ford Mike (Goldberg) replies with "Who cares he's outta there this fall!" He ended up being right 6 months later in November when he was defeated by Jimmy Carter" entry? The film was made in 1993, , so it wasn't much of a guess.
In this wiki, it is claimed that the word 'man' is said 185 times. However, on IMDB's trivia on Dazed and Confused, it states the 'man' was said 203 times. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/trivia Chord 1-12-07

The article doesn't mention nothing about the "Led Zeppelin" song called "Dazed and Confused".
It is unrelated to it. Read end of Dazed and Confused (song) article. BauerPower 17:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
The director has suggested in interviews that the name of the film was derived from the song. I have added this information to the article Edelmand 15:56, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
I am removing the quotes section since it already has a decent sized wikiquote page laters -- Ninandnirvana 02:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
I rewrote the plot listing, which was very rambling and hard to understand. I realize that this is not the easiest film in the world to summarize, but I think I've done the best I can with it. If anyone has any objections, please say so, but I don't think we should really severely edit the plot without further discussion. I can easily see it being turned into an Analysis of the film itself. Nqnpipnr 03:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

"The people who claimed to be the basis for Slater, Wooderson, and Floyd all unsuccessfully sued director Linklater in 2004 for defamation."-- I've found several news articled that say 3 of Linklater's former classmates whose real names are Wooderson, Floyd, and Slater filed a lawsuit in Dec 2004, but I haven't found any that say the lawsuit was unsuccessful. Was the case dismissed or is it still open? The mention needs to be sourced at least and maybe expanded. JeffStickney 00:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

off this "themes" subject- but how bout mention of references to this film in other media? such as several scenes of Family Guy-- one which parodies the end scene of the film, when the freshman lays on the bed w/ his headphones, or the scene with Matthew Mc outside the Rec. hall talking about high school girls? i'm sure Family Guy isn't the only thing either.

On the first soundtrack listing the link for the band Nazareth (they sang "Love Hurts") redirects to Nazareth the city in Israel.
