    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      The villagers toss dynamite at the turkeys. Dynamite was invented in 1867.
    • Quotes

      Reggie: Well, I guess this is good-bye.

      Jake: No, Reggie. Good-byes are just hellos, carried across the wind until our paths... intersect once again.

      Reggie: That's beautiful.

      [pauses]

      Reggie: And confusing.

    • Crazy credits
      The film opens with a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer stating: "The following film is a work of fiction. It is loosely based on historical events and is, in no way, meant to be historically accurate. Except for the part about the talking turkeys. That part is totally real."
