License to Drive corrections

When Les' mom is doing the laundry and "finds" the Test Failed notice, you can see that she actually had it in her hands the entire time. She transfers it from one hand into the other, then puts the hand with the paper into the pocket and pulls it right back out, then knocks it off onto the floor, and acts surprised. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Les and the other people taking their exams are shown in DMV-provided cars, with the DMV logo on them. Examinees, now as 20 years ago when the film was set, have to provide their own cars for the exam - the DMV does not (and did not) provide them. Also, the car Les uses for his exam is a stick shift car. If the DMV did provide cars for the exam (which, as stated above, they do not) they never would provide stick shift cars, which not all of the population can drive. [This was a joint program between the DMV and the school, which was available in the 80's, similar to a Driver's Education course. Les was obtaining his Learner's Permit, not his actual license (6 months with permit before getting a license), and the DMV "DID" provide "Student Driver" cars for these courses, including 5-speed manual.]

Les' twin sister's name changes throughout the film, in some scenes she is Natalie and in others, she is Natasha. [Her boyfriend Karl calls her Natasha most likely because Natalie is an "oppressive" American name. It may also be the equivalent of Natalie in whatever ethnic background he is from. Either way, it is deliberate. When Karl comes to pick her up, he calls her Natasha while her mom calls her Natalie in the same scene.]
