Goofs

In the scene when Turtle and Drama first go to Saigon's house, Drama tells Saigon's mother that she may remember him from "227" back in 1994. "227" ran from 1985 - 1990, not in 1994.

Quotes

Johnny "Drama" Chase: Nobody takes cabs in L.A., Turtle.
Turtle: That's 'cause no one can figure out what color they are... I mean they got blue ones, green ones, red ones, white ones.
Johnny "Drama" Chase: Fuck a city where the cabs aren't monochromatic yellow.
