Added DiffLines:

* SuperPersistentPredator: Sets up a major BrickJoke: early in the film, Gus reads a pamphlet on Florida fishing that warns about [[NeverSmileAtACrocodile angering alligators]] because legend says that they are this. Then they have to fight an alligator to get Massey's loot in the third act, but that seems to be that. The final joke of the film is the reveal that the alligator followed them all the way to New Jersey and is about to attack them when the film cuts to credits.

How To Create A Works Page: Things not to include: value judgments (don't say how much they sucked/how awesome it was), critical reception (that's just a specific variant of value judgments), recommendations (don't tell us whether or not we should check it out).



[[BoxOfficeBomb The film did poorly in theaters, making nearly $20 million on a $53 million budget.]] The film fared even worse with critics, but has gotten a [[CultClassic second life on video]].

* IdioutHoudini: Despite getting into multiple sticky situations through their idiocy, Joe and Gus always escape none the worse for the wear. [[spoiler:This is finally averted in the end, when they're forced to pay damages for all the disasters they caused over the course of the film]].
