Walt: Oh my god, he is deranged!
Trivia: At the end, when Adam Sandler is walking towards the gate out of the football field and the warden is telling the guard to shoot him, it's exactly the same scene from the 1974 Burt Reynolds version.
Suggested correction: This isn't trivia. There are multiple scenes in the remake that are also present in the original. This is just one of many.
Question: Who plays the guard that beats Adam Sandler with the baton? He looks familiar. He's also in the cafeteria scene - he attempts to hit Adam but he blocks it and then the guard says "You're gonna regret that" (or something to that effect).
Answer: The actor who plays him is William Fichtner, and he has appeared in many other films such as Armageddon, The Perfect Storm and Black Hawk Down.
