Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the scene where Mays promises to drive Mr. Hawkins to work if the bus line gets shut down, the clock on the wall is stopped.
  • Movie Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mays is wrestling, we see a sign that says "Mays for Pres" being held up in the crowd. In the next few shots, the same sign is upside down.
  • Rock got the idea for this story from the 1984 Walter Mondale/Geraldine A. Ferraro ticket, in which the democrats thought that since they had no chance of winning against Ronald Reagan/George Bush, they might as well make a historic first so they can win support for the next election. So they ran Ferraro as the first ever woman vice president candidate for their party (and lost).
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): In the scene where Californians are rushing to vote, extras can be seen running out from BETWEEN the houses, instead from inside the houses.
