Trivia
In the scene where Mike is buying the torch at the hardware store, you can see a man in the background holding a stainless steel sink. This a reference to director Bill Forsyth's first movie, That Sinking Feeling, about a bunch of kids who decide to break into a stainless steel sink factory. See more »Quotes
