Trivia: The band playing at the Bar Mitzvah is the same band from Old School who sung at Frank's wedding.

Question: The song being sung when we first see the gala at the end was used to open a romantic comedy, but I can't for the life of me think which film it was - can anyone remember?
Question: Was that Justin Timberlake i saw on the far left of the screen after the dance competition?
Answer: No. If someone as big a star as Justin Timberlake was doing a cameo in a movie, it would be VERY well-known.
Question: Why do Starsky and Hutch come back in the car after visiting Big Earl in the prison when they went to see him at the bar on motorcycles?
Answer: It's entirely possible, since they were not wearing their disguises at the prison, that they had already changed clothes, and therefore, could change vehicles.
Answer: They wore disguises to blend in the biker bar and talk up Big Earl as plausible drug dealers, but when they discovered he was in prison, they figured going in as cops would intimidate him and could offer him a deal. When they said they would get him a radio.
