* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: ** The nightclub scene concludes with the entire club doing a line dance that is plain ''weird'', to put it lightly (quite appropriately referred to as ''El Queso'', "the Cheese".) This one scene lasts for well over a minute, with no dialogue whatsoever, to the rhythm of a song other than the soundtrack being played, with even the people seated getting in on it.
