When Josh(Ben Stiller) bails and picks up Slide(Eddie Murphy) from Rikers Island, Josh starts talking about a car named a Nova. When Eddie Murphy starred in Beverly Hills Cop, he drove a "crappy, blue Nova"

Goofs
When referencing The Lion King, Lester says "Mustafa" when the character's name is "Mufasa." However, the mispronunciation could have been deliberate as Lester was referencing a drunken moment Josh has had in the past, and directly quoting him during his (Josh's) drunken state.

The courts are closed on Thanksgiving. FBI agents would know this and would never have been fooled by the supposed change in date.

Auto parts made of solid gold as seen in the film would have been extremely heavy, yet people are seen lifting them very easily, with little or no effort.

Q
What is a Ponzi scheme?
A
A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering higher returns than other investments, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. Perpetuation of the high returns requires an ever-increasing flow of money from new investors to keep the scheme going. The system is destined to collapse because the earnings, if any, are less than the payments to investors. Usually, the scheme is interrupted by legal authorities before it collapses because a Ponzi scheme is suspected or because the promoter is selling unregistered securities. As more investors become involved, the likelihood of the scheme coming to the attention of authorities increases. The scheme is named after Charles Ponzi who became notorious for using the technique in 1920. Ponzi did not invent the scheme (for example, Charles Dickens's 1857 novel Little Dorrit described such a scheme) but his operation took in so much money that it was the first to become known throughout the United States. Ponzi's original scheme was based on the arbitrage of international reply coupons for postage stamps; however, he soon diverted investors' money to make payments to earlier investors and himself.
