Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): It appears that there was an error in Sarge's calculation of how much the Candy Man's heroin-filled baseballs were worth: if "one baseball is worth $19,000, and the Candy Man has prepared 24 of them", then $19,000 multiplied by 24 is only $456,000, not $470,000. Each baseball would have to be worth $19,583.33&1/3 for 24 balls to be worth $470,000. See more »

Crazy Credits

The title (that is, the original title "$") appears only in the form of
a giant character, as would be used in a sign, being transported by a
crane while the other opening credits are displayed in the usual way. See more »
