    • Trivia
      Steve Zahn's haircut and physical appearance were designed to mimic those of actual police that he had seen and studied. The transformation was so effective that when Zahn and his brother went into a bar one night, people sitting near them moved away. Zahn's brother laughed and said "They think you're a cop!"

      During sentencing, Hank is sent to a "state penitentiary" to serve his 6-month sentence. A 6-month sentence would be served in a county jail. State penitentiaries are for sentences of one year or more.
    • Quotes

      [Earl is trying to reach for the keys in his car and Hank is walking up to him]

      Hank: Need some help?

      Earl: Are you asking me if I need some help or am I stealing this car?

      Hank: Are you stealing this car?

      Earl: Does it look like I'm stealing this damn car?

      Hank: A little bit.

      Earl: Why, 'cause I'm black? If you saw a white guy doing this you'd give him a reward.

      Hank: Let me see your license.

      Earl: I ain't showin' you a damn thing! This is my car and I didn't do anything wrong. You owe me an apology.

      Hank: You're in dangerous grounds here, bub, I'd be careful what comes out of your mouth next!

      Earl: Oh, you want to hear what comes out of my mouth next? You're... a... fucking... pig!

    Pretty painful overall, but has it's moments
    This movie could have worked if Martin Lawrence wasn't so goofy and over the top. He was just flat out annoying in this movie. Maybe the writing was so poor that this is the only way for him to play the character, or maybe he had too much artistic license and the director was too sheepish to keep him in line. Whatever the case, the movie isn't a total loss, but you know you have a bomb on your hands when your two year old likes this seemingly adult-oriented movie more than his father did.
