Directed by: Peter Segal
Starring: Adam Sandler, Burt Reynolds, Chris Rock, James Cromwell
Other mistake: In the library scene, the guards are harassing the inmate by throwing books on the floor to make him pick them up.One of the guards drops a book on the floor to tell the inmate that he missed one but when he comes back to pick it up he actually picks up 3 books. (00:48:50)
Continuity mistake: When Adam Sandler reverses into the police car, he damages the Bentley he is driving at the back end. When the police chase him, the back end is not damaged at all. (00:06:35)
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.
