Short description
In Venice Beach, naive Midwesterner JB bonds with local slacker KG and they form the rock band Tenacious D. Setting out to become the world's greatest band is no easy feat, so they set out to steal what could be the answer to their prayers... a magical guitar pick housed in a rock-and-roll museum some 300 miles away.
What's left behind the scenes
- Upon entering the music store at the beginning of the search for "The Satanic Mediator", KG is wearing a t-shirt with a poster of the band "Trainwreck". Notably, Kyle Gass (who played KG) is the vocalist and guitarist of this band under the pseudonym Klip Calhoun.
- It took 7 hours to apply makeup to Dave Grohl to transform him into the Devil.
- The word "fuck" and its variations are used 106 times throughout the film.
- According to Jack Black, he vowed to never write another screenplay, having lost confidence after the film flopped at the box office.
- Satan plays a guitar made by “Dean Guitars,” which was gifted to Dimebag Darrell (1966-2004) of “Pantera” when sales of their seventh studio album *Far Beyond Driven* (1994) exceeded 100,000 copies.
