Trivia

Grey's line, "She don't look like much, but she got it where it counts, kid," is what Han says to Luke about the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars.

Goofs

It is a preposterous stretch of reality to accept that Grey could exit a crime scene being penetrated by a tactical assault team, and get to his truck, unseen, let alone drive away with the head-start seen in the final police chase. There would have been personnel posted outside to prevent suspects from fleeing.
