Trivia

Just after Lucas tells Joe he's a 'superb manager', Joe drags him off to beat him up in his office. When he takes him into the back, you see a girl standing in the doorway. She is the same girl you see when Mark and AJ enter the store at the beginning. Her character was called Lily and she was cut out of the film. Her name is also still in the credits. See more...

Continuity: There is a scene where everyone is dancing. It's towards the end but not at the very end. One of the employees of the record store takes his shirt off. Then the camera cuts back and you see the entire group of people dancing. If you look at him he has his shirt back on. Then a couple of shots later he has it back off again.

Continuity: If you pay attention to when Rex Manning talks, you'll notice that he strays a bit from his American accent. Maxwell Caufield, the actor who plays him, is (I think) an Aussie.

Continuity: When Lucas is in the casino, we see a shot of him getting passed the dice and grabbing the dice. However, just a few seconds later after his nice little speech, we again see the casino rep pass him the dice, just before he rolls the dice which he clearly already had in his hand.

Plot hole: Joe is yelling at Lucas for losing the money and tells him that he can't leave the couch unless he gets him 9,000 dollars. At this point in the movie Joe could not have known how much money was actually there since he did not close and had not asked Lucas how much had been there when he did close.

Continuity: Near the end of the film, when all the shop employees are giving money to Lucas so he can pay Joe back, Gina is sitting by Lucas and gives him her contribution. A few shots later you see Gina walk up to Lucas and hand him her contribution....again.

Continuity: When everyone is waiting for the police to come and arrest Warren he keeps losing and re-finding his jacket. Mark, Lucas, and Warren are all dancing for everyone on the couch.
