Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When starting the secretary's car Stanfield says to pop the clutch which then starts the car. However, several times later the car is seen being put in Park. On a manual-transmission car that has been started by popping the clutch - as her's was - this would cause the engine to die, yet the car keeps running every time. See more »
