That scene where an angry store owner ran behind the pair during the Chinese finger trap prank (which involved prosthetics) was actually real. Andre said they went to the wrong barbershop that didn’t have their hidden cameras inside and the owner was not happy about the debauchery. The man chased them out the door with a knife in the scene that jus...
Tiffany Haddish wasn't originally in the movie. After Howery, who had never done a prank on camera before – he's best known for his role in the Oscar-winning movie Get Out - encountered the major scare noted above, he called his reps and Haddish, with whom he co-starred on Carmichael Show, to vent. Haddish, a movie star in her own right, called And...

Not surprisingly, Andre and Howery got recognized a few times and had to re-shoot scenes. But they used the "know your audience" guide to help determine shooting locations and the types of crowds to surround themselves with. Andre told AV Club that they focused on pranking people over 40 since his audience typically skews younger. So, they avoided ...
The hilarious scene at the end of the movie, inspired by the movie White Chicks, which Chris and Bud reference throughout the movie, actually had to be filmed twice. The first time in Atlanta, partygoers were so angered that they refused to sign the release forms. It resulted in a huge added expense to the budget, though Andre admits that he and Ho...
Like any movie, plenty of scenes were filmed for Bad Trip that didn't make the final cut. One such scene depicted Andre's character getting an exorcism from an actual preacher. Andre says that, in the end, it didn't "fit the body of the movie" and, indeed, the prank sounds pretty dark. After staying in a motel that is reportedly haunted, Andre pret...
