Factual error: In the second chase scene (when Gator is blocking for Roy) it shows Gator turning on to Laurel street then entering into the parking lot and the storage area of a lumberyard (where the lumber falls on the state police car). Laurel St. is in N. Little Rock and the lumberyard is the old Wrape Stave lumber yard (also known as Dixie Culvert) in E. Sixth street in Little Rock.

Gator McKlusky: I was tryin' to save these two buddies of mine from getting knocked up by a homosexual.
Vinnie Carruthers: Oh, praise god.
