Goofs
During the wild chase scene in the "Double Coupons" store, the police officer fires nine shots from a chrome-plated six-shot revolver. This is probably intentional as with the clerk's "magic" shotgun.

During the wild chase scene, H.I. commandeers a pick-up with driver. The vehicle shown is a 1964 to 1966 Chevy pick up. However, there are a couple scenes from inside the cab over the hood which clearly show the vents and contours of a Dodge pick-up of similar vintage.

While Leonard Smalls is back-handing H.I. in front of the bank, his arm swings back and hits the camera causing it to shudder for a moment.

Quotes
Gale: All right, ya hayseeds, it's a stick-up. Everybody freeze. Everybody down on the ground.

Dot: [GASPS after seeing Nathan Jr] What's his name?
Share this
H.I.: I tried to stand up and fly straight, but it wasn't easy with that sumbitch Reagan in the White House. I dunno. They say he's a decent man, so maybe his advisors are confused.
