* The opening scene is all kinds of glamourized Vietnam War movie levels of epic... [[https://youtu.be/Mhu2Ij0rWCQ Until Tugg has trouble]] working up tears during the emotional bit, and Kirk is ''over''-emoting, at which Tugg breaks character and asks for some direction, causing unmitigated awkwardness as the scene keeps trying to continue properly: The camera isn't even rolling anymore, a boom mic drifts into view breaking Tugg's concentration, the supporting cast start slacking off in the helicopter rig in the background, Alpa takes a call on his cell, Jeff gets uncomfortable with his stunt harness, Kirk storms off to pee, and finally Cody blows the spectacular napalm effects way too early.

The moment involving Tug chucking Half Squat into the river is already listed on the page, hence my removal of its second inclusion near the bottom of the page. Also, if I remember correctly, Cody described ALMOST blinding Jamie Lee Curtis, hence my addition of the term 'nearly'.


* As hilarious as Kirk Lazarus is, the film's ''Crowning'' Funny Moment comes near the end of the final action scene: Tugg, escaping from the drug cartel with a toddler he tried to adopt hanging off his back ''repeatedly stabbing him with a knife'', finally gets fed up and ''throws the toddler off the bridge into the river'', emphasized by the fantastic mid-air cartwheels he sent the kid into. The kid, amazingly enough, survives, too, and looks none the worse for wear (merely extremely pouty) so you don't even have to feel bad about the horrific child abuse!
