** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJMPom6-xmA A brief]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dsgQb3jkk4 summary]]: Creator/JonLovitz's character has stolen Hitler's car, burned his middle finger and his tongue on the cigarette lighter, and hit his upper lip on a lipstick smear on the steering wheel, resulting in him appearing to have a Hitler mustache, speaking in German-sounding gibberish, flipping off the crowd of World War II veterans in a poor attempt at demonstrating what happened and even -- to put a cherry on top -- unwittingly making some Hitler-eque gestures out of nowhere, like pounding the rostrum with his fists or waving his arms in the air wildly in multiple Roman salutes. The best part of all this? The character ([[NWordPrivileges and the actor, too]]) is Jewish.

* One of the best brick jokes ever. Enrico is a narcoleptic and, once the race starts, falls asleep before he even gets out of the casino. The movie then ambles along long enough to almost forget about the character completely. After about 45 minutes of hijinks, the film ''finally'' cuts back to Enrico still asleep in the hotel lobby. [[spoiler: And he's STILL the first to arrive to the money...and falls asleep AGAIN!]] It's probably good for the movie, since Enrico is played by Creator/RowanAtkinson and might have overshadowed some of the other names of the cast.
