- TriviaSteve Zahn's haircut and physical appearance were designed to mimic those of actual police that he had seen and studied. The transformation was so effective that when Zahn and his brother went into a bar one night, people sitting near them moved away. Zahn's brother laughed and said "They think you're a cop!"
- GoofsWhen Earl is behind the wheel of the driving-instruction car, he constantly moves the steering wheel from side to side, yet the car always drives straight.
- Quotes
[Earl is trying to reach for the keys in his car and Hank is walking up to him]
Hank: Need some help?
Earl: Are you asking me if I need some help or am I stealing this car?
Hank: Are you stealing this car?
Earl: Does it look like I'm stealing this damn car?
Hank: A little bit.
Earl: Why, 'cause I'm black? If you saw a white guy doing this you'd give him a reward.
Hank: Let me see your license.
Earl: I ain't showin' you a damn thing! This is my car and I didn't do anything wrong. You owe me an apology.
Hank: You're in dangerous grounds here, bub, I'd be careful what comes out of your mouth next!
Earl: Oh, you want to hear what comes out of my mouth next? You're... a... fucking... pig!

However, EVERY joke being racial got tiresome QUICK. From the preview (and EVERY other Martin movie I've seen) I figured as much. Too bad I wasn't surprised.
Worth the $2 I spent on rental, but if I spent $8 to see it first-run I'd have been sorely disappointed.
