Goofs

When Harold opens the garage door to reveal the Blue Team van, he pushes a garage door opener remote control. The door opens rapidly and irregularly, as if nudged by a stagehand and opened via spring action, not like the slow and steady operation of a garage door opener. No garage door opener mechanism is visible in the garage, despite the ceiling location where such a mechanism would be installed being visible.

Quotes

Adam: [seeing Harold come back to get "Little Harold"] I'm sure he missed you Harold. To the Bonavenure Hotel!

User Reviews

Am I the only one?

Am I the only person that has seen this movie? I saw this film as a child. It came on tv a lot (USA or something like that) and I loved it. It intrigued me. Something about scavenger hunts, with different teams, through the city at night. Anyways, as I grew older I never heard of this movie again. I mean for at least 10 to 12 years. Nothing. But I still remembered the song from the movie and it would sometimes pop in my head. I thought myself to be crazy and so did everyone else I had asked about it. I had convinced myself that I must have made it up when I was younger, but then I found the movie at a store one day and bought it. Now I think it to be quite humorous the things we get attached to as a child and think are so funny. It is still entertaining to me though. Oh well, Anyone else?

I know I seem it, but No, I am not crazy. My mind is wide awake and I can't sleep!
