Narrator: Six minutes later, Michael stopped to drop off his mother's housekeeper.
Buster: [Buster climbs out of the trunk] Mexico.
Narrator: In fact, Buster was in Santa Ana, a town six minutes inland from his own, but the combination of losing his glasses and breathing carbon monoxide had impaired Buster's judgement.

Lupe: Excuse me, what are you doing?
Buster: I'm trying to find a place to live!

MISTAKES/GOOFS

FAKE: As Ice motorcycles down a freeway "20 miles from Legoland," his bike is traveling much slower than freeway speed (evidenced by how fast it passes each stripe in the road).
FAKE: As the family leaves the Mexican border town, a visually-reversed shot is used for the departing Mercedes and motorcycle. This is evidenced by the license plate of the Mercedes, which is backwards.
