Deliberate mistake: Director Adam McKay states on the commentary that they went to the island Catalina for location searches and realised that he did not really like the island. Instead, on the coast and during several scenes, the island of Catalina can be seen in the background. He chose not to have it digitally edited out as a joke.

Question: Is Jack Handle actually a person in Step Brothers? Cause if so, we only hear his name when Robert announces that's who he will be moving in with.
Answer: I doubt it's a person. Jack likely refers to Jack Daniel's, and a handle is usually referred to as a half gallon. Hence the name Jack Handle.
