    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      At the gas station, the credit card Richie pulls out has a design that resembles the old Bank Americard which changed to Visa in 1976. The blue and gold bands and color palette most closely matches Visa cards from 2000-2006. It doesn't have a mag stripe on the back.
    • Goofs
      At 1:19:30, after John knocks Richie into the muddy water with a shovel, he drops that 'steel-headed' shovel into the water and it floats like a cork bobber.
    • Quotes
      • Richie: Stop trying to figure me out. I got my own ideas.
