Headscratchers / Beerfest

• Hammacher & Schlemmer — really, what good would all those muscles be when it came to drinking beer?
  • If you go by what they say in the movie, those guys are actually the two worst drinkers on the German team.
    Jan: Sounds like you guys fancy yourselves drinkers, huh?
    Rolf: Ja, maybe a little bit, since we just beat the Irish.
    Jan: Well I'll tell you what! Well why don't you pick your best two, Friedrich? 'Cause you just opened up a can of corn.
    Germans: (Much laughing)
    Rolf: Our best two? Ja? You want our best two? How about our worst two? Hammacher! Schlemmer!
  • It would affect how quickly they get drunk, since greater body mass causes you to get drunk slower.
• Since the English team is separate from the Scottish one, shouldn't they have been wearing the England flag (St. George's cross) rather than the Union Jack?
  • Yes, they should if it's like any other sport in which the constituent parts of the United Kingdom compete as separate countries. But hey, Artistic Licence and all that.
• How did the Germans get a U-boat into a mountain lake in Colorado(a landlocked state)?
  • Presumably, Hammacher and Schlemmer carried it all the way there.
  • Rule of Funny. Would it be as memorable if they were just in a boat?
