Corrected entry: Claude was asked to fill in as a driver for the commodore, however, this is strange considering he obviously doesn't have a driver's license and hasn't driven in over 40 years.

Correction: That's exactly what Ray said in the movie. So it's not something they have overlooked, probably an issue that superintendent had solved.

Corrected entry: In the first scene where Ray and Claude are being buried, the speaker says "we lay to rest Claude Gibson and C. Banks" instead of Ray Gibson. They never said Ray's name.

Correction: They're actually saying "R" Gibson - I thought the same thing until I listened again.

Corrected entry: When Claude and Ray supposedly commit murder and are sentenced to life in the pen, it's 1932. When the movie goes to 1972 the caption shows they have only been in prison for 28 years. After being in prison for 28 years the year should be 1960 and not 1972.

Correction: They were sentenced in 1932, but the 28 years later is from the point that they fight last. A good amount of years passed before that happened. I believe it was at least 12 years.

Revealing mistake: When Claude and Ray are at the retirement home getting ready for bed, as Ray lifts up his shirt you will see where it looks like he's wearing a fat suit underneath. He can also be seen pulling it down to his waist.

Trivia: Fun to spot - In the scene where Eddie Murphy is fighting the big guy, after a while he says, "I know a bitch named Della who hit harder than you." Here, he is referring to Della Reese, whom he fought with in Harlem Nights.

Question: Why does Biscuit try to run right before he's let out? Why does he say he can't go home to his mama?

Answer: Because he is gay. In the time this movie is set, being homosexual was not only an extreme moral and religious taboo, but it was illegal in most parts of the US. Biscuit is too ashamed of letting his mother find out about his relationship with Jangle Leg, so he runs, knowing the guards will shoot him dead.

Answer: It wasn't in the script for him the die - the actor who played Biscuit went into a interview and said that he improv that scene the letter he opened up was initially was an call log not an release paper and he stated if his character was going to die he wanted him to die by crossing the gun line.
