Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the undercover scene when Danny is cooking eggs, he is introduced as Carlos, which is in fact Chuck Norris' real name. See more » |
| Goofs | When Simon takes the Chap Stick and graphite and puts it on the dental floss he supposedly cut through the bars in very little time. Theoretically impossible. If it were graphite, a lubricant, that would be correct. However, it is actually grit, as is used in rock tumblers and sand blasters. It would take a long time and a lot of dental floss, but is theoretically possible. See more » |
