Trivia:

During pre-production, the film was originally supposed to carry a hard R rating, but after deliberations, the studio had to tone down the film's script to PG-13. This meant changing the plot, dialog and characters. John August was hired as a "script doctor" to make these changes.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the alley, Carlson shoots twice at Tully. The First shot there is no flash from the barrel, the second shot there is a flash.

Martin Lawrence was Very Very Funny!!

This film made me laugh from beginning to end only because of the great actor and comic, Martin Lawrence(Miles Logan),"Bad BoysII",'03, who is a bank robber, winds up hiding a large diamond gem in the heating ventilation of the LAPD Headquarters. Miles is very comical getting into jail and getting out and then trying to find this diamond gem after spending two(2) years in prison. Words cannot completely describe this great entertaining film. Luke Wilson, (Carlson),"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle",'03, is a great supporting straight man for Miles and the two of them made this a great worth viewing. Martin Lawrence is destined to become a great Super Star of the Future!
