Trivia

Throughout several points in the movie, Riggs willfully mispronounces Arjen Rudd's name as "Aryan", willfully calls Pieter Vorstedt "Adolf", and refers to Rudd, Vorstedt, and their associates as the "Master Race". These are all references to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis before and during World War II. "Aryan Race" or "Master Race" was a Nazi ideological form which became a concept for white supremacism. The South African practice of Apartheid at the time was also another ideological form of white supremacy, which is likely why Riggs made these comparisons. See more »

Continuity: Murtaugh pulls up right behind the pool guy's truck on the first visit to the stilt house. Later, when he and Leo get in to chase Riggs and the tow truck, the wagon is now some distance back from the pick-up to allow him to pull out without reversing. See more »
