Quotes
Jack Brown:
Do you have a license to drive a car down the steps?
Goofs
When Jack crashes the Wonder Wheel, he's standing at an angle past the original start position in front of the end cap of dolls. However in the next shot, he's standing upright back at the original starting position. It's unlikely for Jack to have enough pinpoint accuracy to roll the Wonder Wheel back to its starting position before the Wonder Wheel starts to deflate.
Crazy Credits
The closing credits are shown aside four toy darts.
