Street Preacher: They use their tongues to deceive. The venom of snakes is under their lips and their mouths are full of bitterness and curses.

And they have blinded us to the truth! Our human spirit is corrupted! Why do we worship greed? Because outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us from birth to death are our owners. Our owners! They have us! They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They're all about you, all around you!

Revealing mistake: During the big fight scene, you can tell easily that Frank is wearing knee pads (try looking when his pant leg is wet). Construction workers will often wear knee pads for work but most often they wear them on the outside of the pants to save the knees of their pants. (00:58:50)
