Trivia:

According to Dave Chappelle on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (1986), a scene was written during filming in which his character was to wear a dress while disguised as a prostitute. Chappelle adamantly refused. The writers complained to the producers who then tried to convince Chappelle to do the scene but he still refused. According to Chappelle, he felt that it was part of a disturbing trend in which African-American men wear dresses in films.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Miles first enters the department as a detective, Detective Larson is shown loosening the handcuffs on a suspect. The shot shows that only one handcuff is released, but yet when the suspect runs, there are no handcuffs on him at all, when there should be both hanging from one wrist.

Quotes:

Miles Logan:All right check this out: This is a Brigga 3300, toughest safe in the world. What's the first thing you do?
Eddie:Drill the lock.
Miles Logan:No! You got to check to see if it's open.
Miles Logan:[excited] It's open!
Eddie:[surprised] Really?
Miles Logan:Nah I'm messin' wit- I'm messing with you! They would never do that! Now Eddie, you know they would never do that!

While You Were Gone

SO FUNNY

HILARIOUS! HILARIOUS! HILARIOUS! That is all I can say about Blue Streak. Martin Lawrence and David Schapell did an excellent job acting together! Martin did an excellent job playing his part. When he lied(throughout the entire movie) it looked as if it was coming right off of the top of his head in a real life type situation. If you want a good laugh or two for an hour and a half, you HAVE to see this movie.
