    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The Bill Ripken "F face" card is, in fact, a real error on 1989 Fleer card number 616.
    • Goofs
      The Billy Ripken profanity card is from Fleer's 1989 set, and the film takes place in December 1988. Even if the cards had been released early, the indication that it was an "error card" and worth $95.00 wouldn't have appeared in collector magazines so soon. Given how the past unfolds in Jake's narrative, this was a mistake he made.
    • Quotes
      • Jake Doyle (Adult): So many thoughts raced through my head. Would I be arrested? Would I go to jail? Or worse, would I ever play Nintendo again?
    • Crazy credits
      The credits are displayed in a "8-bit" style typography over a static shot of the fort under the snow.
