Other mistake: When the prisoners take a break from digging the ditch, Jangle Leg sits down to talk to Claude. When Claude looks at Ray in confusion while Jangle Leg is still talking to him, you can see Jangle Leg sitting down below Ray.

1 other mistake
Directed by: Ted Demme
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Nick Cassavetes, Obba Babatunde
Continuity mistake: When Claude and Ray are first put in jail, Sheriff Warren Pike's cut is straight up and down. At the end of the movie the scar is at an angle.
Claude Banks: I hope your ass piss the bed with that weak-ass bladder of yours.
Rayford Gibson: If I do, then I'll put the sheets on you.
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: 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.

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.
