Trivia
In a recent visit to USC, his alma mater, Rick Famuyiwa revealed that Paramount executives wanted the character of Mike to pinch Alicia's buttocks in the end scene for added laughs. Needless to say, Famuyiwa balked at this and never shot this. The opening Steadicam shot took almost an entire day to shoot. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Mike is helping escort Roland from Tanya's apartment he is also holding a coffee mug. When he turns around to say something to Tanya he's all of a sudden holding the coffee pot instead. See more »Quotes
Mike: Now, any other day time drags during the last period. But not today. Naw, time was on crack today!See more »
