    • Quotes

      [T. Paul sneaks into Nick's car and points a gun to his head]

      T. Paul: Welcome to hell, Bi-atch! Car keys, wallet, now!

      [No reaction from Nick]

      T. Paul: You hear what I said? Okay you listen and listen good. This a gun. Kay? Don't be fucking around with no gun, white boy.

      [no response]

      T. Paul: Helen Keller, I'm talking to you!

      [imitates deaf person]

      T. Paul: I know you hear what the fuck I'm saying to you.

      Nick Beam: [smiles] Boy, did you pick the wrong guy on the wrong day.

      [he locks the doors, and floors the accelerator]

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits are finished, a mailman brings a letter to the hillbilly whose gas station was robbed. The letter is marked "Hillbilly Motherfucker", just as T. called him in the movie. Inside is a few hundred dollars cash. In the cut version this is changed to "Hillbilly at the gas station".
    • Alternate versions
      In the Australian free to air version, during the confrontation with the rival criminals, Martin Lawrence yelling "Shut the fuck up" is badly censored to "Shuck up". Interestingly, other uses of the word "fuck" are still intact.

    You have nothing to lose but something to gain by watching this
    This was an enjoyable and entertaining film. Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence put on a great comedic performance as an unlikely duo. Both come from different worlds that one day collide. The duo realize they share some things in common, people cannot be judged so easily. This is a film with a simple plot, lots of laughs and has a strong feel good element. Martin Lawrence brings his unique brand of crude yet charming humor to the screen and Tim Robbins more than holds his own. This simple story has a number of twists, moments of comedic genius and a very satisfying end.

    You don't always have huge expectations watching these type of films so you're pleasantly surprised and gained something from watching it.
