Continuity mistake: When the guys are all sitting around (after the car wash) they are throwing ideas to save the gym. In one shot Gordon pulls his magazine out of his bag, but a split second later in a closer shot he pulls the magazine out again. (00:15:15)
Trivia: When the $100,000 is presented, White says in Spanish, "Donde esta la biblioteca". This means, "Where is the library?" (01:00:30)
Question: Why did the treasure chest given to them at the end have "Deus Ex Machina" written on it?

Chosen answer: "Deus Ex Machina" means "God out of the machine." It's from Greek plays, wherein a god would appear at the end of the story to solve a problem. Nowadays it basically means that a totally new plot element appears out of nowhere and solves everything. It's an easy (and cheap) way out.
