Pam's age
I know that it's pointless applying logic to this film but I just can't help myself. Pam's birthday is 21-10-59 according to the videogame machine in the film. The brothers were charged with "kidnapping" her on 10 October 1983 according to their lawyer. So she is 24 (although she was being played by a 31 year old actress). -- Derek Ross | Talk 23:50, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Interview with Dave Thomas

I'd like to add a link to the Projection Booth podcast about this movie as there are interviews with Lynne Griffin (Pam), Dave Thomas (Doug), and the screenwriter Steve De Jarnatt as well as the author of an SCTV guide, Jeff Robbins. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cashiers (talk • contribs) 16:01, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

 * The movie is laced with references to Shakespeare's Hamlet. Pam's uncle, Claude Elsinore, is named after the uncle in Hamlet, Claudius, who in the play poisons his brother, marries his sister-in-law, and takes over the kingdom. Likewise, Mrs. Elsinore's first name is Gertrude, also the name of Hamlet's mother in the play. Bob and Doug play the role of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Hamlet's two dimwitted friends who ultimately get double-crossed into a plot to kill the prince. Furthermore, the name of the company, Elsinore, is also the name of the Danish castle in Hamlet. Also, the name Hamlet could be taken for the female name of Pamela, which is the name of the female protagonist of the movie. In addition, the ghost of the deceased father makes appearance, mostly in the form of a haunted arcade game unit in the abandoned cafeteria of the brewery.


 * The 2007 PC game Hellgate London makes an allusion to the movie with the NPC character "Mac Kensie" who gives the adventurer a series of quests to find ingredients to make his potion called "Elsinore". When one of the steps of the quest is complete, the character quotes the movie saying: "If I didn't have puke breath right now I'd kiss you."


 * The 2000 album Deltron 3030 features a track named "National Movie Review" which is a brief, spoofed review of Strange Brew.


 * There are also several coincidental instances that suggest that Strange Brew is loosely based on Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead by Tom Stoppard. Including the name of the brewery (Elsinore), and the murder/marriage round about, placing Pamela in the role of Hamlet, and Rosie as Ophelia.
