Goofs

Continuity: When Brian is sneaking into the WMS warehouse you can clearly see a number of times his skateboard he had throughout the first half of the movie. He then sacrifices the board to blow up the propane tank. A few scenes later when he is riding in the street with his backpack he has the same skateboard, then breaks the trucks on the police lights. Only then does he replace it for the new black board. See more »

Quotes

Brian Kelly: If my dog had a face like yours I'd shave his ass and tell him to walk backwards.
