Did You Know?
| Trivia | While most of the speedboat chase was shot in Amsterdam, some scenes were shot in the nearby city of Utrecht. These involve the part where both boats jump onto the quay and plow through the chairs and tables of a terrace. Such low-lying quays can not be found in Amsterdam, only in Utrecht. See more » |
| Goofs | The great chase-scene starts in Amsterdam, then suddenly leads through the Canals of Utrecht, and then back to Amsterdam again. See more » |

Vermeer:
What do you think she meant when she said a huge black monster with giant claws? Eric Visser: I don't know, but I hope your mother-in-law has an alibi. Vermeer: UGH! See more » |
