* Yul's pep talk working a little too well on Junior, in that he storms out to pick a fight with the East German bobsledders who've been hassling them all night, while Yul can only stare in shock as if to say ''"What the hell just happened?"''
* The bar brawl between the Jamaican and East German bobsled teams falls between this and Awesome. Special mention to Sanka's DynamicEntry into the fight, making a flying tackle into the brawl while screaming "Yippie ki-yay!"

* The morning after he chews them out for getting into trouble in the bar brawl, saying that "I didn't come here to get my butt whipped, and maybe it's time I start doing a little whipping of my own!", Irv is shocked awake the next morning by an alarm clock being held next to his ear.

** When the boys all rush onto the bus that comes for them, Irv has this to say (one can only wonder how he even ''survived'' in Jamaica):
-->'''Irv:''' What's the matter, you guys cold? It's not so much the, uh, heat, it's the humidity that'll kill ya.

-->'''Irv''': Y'see, Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone. [''[[MeaningfulLook continues talking, but looks at Derrice]]''] He's the first to show up, and the last to leave. When his buddies are all out drinking beer, he's up in his room studying pictures of turns. Y'see, a driver must remain focused 100% at all times. Not only is he responsible for knowing every inch of every course he races, he's also responsible for the lives of the other men in the sled. Now do you want that responsibility?

** Not exactly beachwear - they are wearing jackets and sweatshirts. In other words, clothing for "Jamaica cold". Plenty fine for a winter in Kingston (average January low temperature being 73 degrees Fahrenheit), but not for the blizzard they walk into.
** Note that Irv is wearing basically the same thing, with only the addition of a wool coat. But having lived in the US and been a winter athlete for years, the only effect you see is him squinting because of the wind. His being bigger also gives him more cold tolerance than the four Jamaicans.

** The aforementioned rodeo dance scene is funny enough when Sanka can barely keep up with the woman he's attempting to dance with... Then they cut back to him later in the same scene, and suddenly his steps are perfectly in time and he and his dance partner have swapped hats.
