Mike Donnelly: How ya doing, buddy? Transporting a prisoner. 12th precinct up in Buckley Town. My sergeant didn't give me any overtime, so I'm trying to do it lickety-split.
Motorcycle Cop: Tell me, officer, do you have any idea how fast you were going?
Mike: Well. I got a 426 hemi in her, 3/4 cams, nitro boosters. I can get her up to as good as 155. Never do though of course, unless I'm chasing a cute chick in a Ferrari. Hahahahaha. I guess I was going about 65, tops.
Motorcycle Cop: Seven! Seven miles an hour! And normally when I stop people they pull onto the shoulder.

Airplane (1980)
Joey Hammen: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Roger Murdock: I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot.
Joey: You are Kareem. I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets.
Roger: I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?
Clarence Oveur: No, he's not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.
Roger: All right, but just remember, my name is Roger Murdock. I'm an airline pilot.
Joey: I think you're the greatest. But my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run downcourt. And that you don't really try except during the playoffs.
Roger: The hell I don't! Listen, kid. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at ULCA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

General questions
Has anyone noticed a trend of actors (especially A-listers) becoming producers on projects they're not otherwise involved in (no cameo or directing credits)? It just seemed that not too long ago, an actor would only produce a project he or she was starring in; or for TV shows, would later on become a producer. And I understand it can be a way to make money or is something they're passionate about, so why weren't they doing it before as much? Or am I just reading into too small a sample size?

Honey I Blew Up the Kid (1992)
Continuity mistake: When Wayne is in the back of the van with his machine when the motorcycle cops are following him, the switches on the machine change position depending on the shot. At first, you see #2 and 5 in the up position, but then only #4 is. He flips them all up and the lights come on, but in the next shot, the lights are off and not all the switches are up. A similar thing happens when he unshrinks the cops.
