Steve Dodds: [After hitting Drake with his car] Oh! Oh! Buddy, are you ok?
Drake Sabitch: I'm not that far from dragging you out of the car and beating you to dust.
Steve: You should work up to that. Kinda leaves you nowhere to go.
Drake: I can go to your mamma's and start a small fire in her panties. Now, are you ready to get out of the car?

Trivia: The picture of Milo and Eddie (Danny Glover and Danny DeVito) seen at the end in Nora's are real photos of Glover and DeVito, just photoshopped to be holding menus and to look like they're together in a restaurant. The photos of them comes from a 2008 fundraiser for Paul Newman's children's camp (The Painted Turtle) that doubled as a tribute to Newman, who had passed away a month prior to the event. Both men were in attendance.

Stargate SG-1 (1997)

Enigma - S1-E17

Question: Maybourne threatens Daniel with a court-martial if he continues to disobey orders by helping the Tollan. The driving force of him helping is the idea that since he's a civilian he can't be court-martialed. But how accurate is that? Can a civilian who works for and/or with the military be court-martialed, especially if he or she has participated in military operations? The Stargate program is essentially a black-ops program and Daniel signed an NDA, so how could he ever face a non-military court?

Bishop73

Answer: In real life, under certain conditions, civilians working with military forces can be required to abide by military law as well as the civilian laws of their nation. This is usually when civilians (eg. scientists, contractors, etc) are deployed for a lengthy time as part of a military force at war (or similar operations). The requirement to abide by the law is usually explained carefully to the civilian and signed before deployment. This helps fit civilians into a chain of command and maintains discipline, without having to return to courts in the home country for infractions. There may be many parts of military law that don't apply to the civilian (e.g. alcohol is forbidden to all personnel, but the civilian does not have to have a regulation haircut). Also, very serious crimes by anyone in a force may be dealt with by civilian courts, if the military can't for some reason. So it is feasible that Daniel would be subject to at least some parts of military law (and civil law too).

The Magicians (2015)

Do You Like Teeth? - S3-E6

Trivia: In this episode, and in the previous one, Margo alludes to Prince Formar that her vagina has teeth (hence the title of the episode) and has Eliot help her trick Formar into thinking his penis was bitten during sex. Hale Appleman, who plays Eliot, starred in the film "Teeth" in which a young woman has teeth in her vagina. Appleman in "Teeth"was the first victim and had his penis bitten (off).

The Avengers (2012)

Question: I've noticed a few times in the film they mention "Phase 2." For example, when Fury is talking to the council they bring it up and Fury says "Phase 2 isn't ready." Given that the MCU was broken up into phases, with this being the last film in Phase One (with Iron Man 3 released a year later as the first film in Phase Two), was this an inside joke or nod about the MCU phases, or just coincidence and I'm reading too much into it?

Bishop73

Answer: Phase 2 in the movie refers to the plan executed in Captain America: Winter Soldier, Project Insight which is their next phase for total security of Earth (along with Stark's Ultron program). It is coincidental that it is the same term used for the MCU itself.

Black Sheep (1996)

Continuity mistake: When Mike is talking about seeing his brother while Steve is asleep, you see the Playpen magazine sticking out from under his pillow, on top of a 2nd magazine. When Mike approaches him, the Playpen magazine is under the covers next to Steve and there's only one magazine under the pillow.

Black Sheep (1996)

Other mistake: When we see the front page picture of Mike with the alcohol and joint, he's pouring the alcohol over his bottom lip and chin, going down the front of his shirt. This doesn't match what we see him do. It does appear that Mike spilt alcohol on himself when off camera, but the wet spot is on the right side of his jacket, but not down the front.

Black Sheep (1996)

Question: In the film, Officer Robbie seems to have heavily modified his police cruiser, including adding nitrous. In real life, could an officer actually modify his or her vehicle, even if it's at their own expense? The examples of modified police cars I could find online are never real cop cars (they're for a car show, just a stunt, or hoax of some sort).

Bishop73

Answer: A major police department would probably not allow modifications to an official vehicle, even if it was assigned permanently to a particular officer, due to safety or insurance concerns. That said, many departments do use high performance or exotic vehicles seized during crimes under various forfeiture laws. Most times these are for promotional purposes, but I do know of a Florida department that used a souped-up Dodge Hemi-Charger painted in standard department livery for traffic enforcement.
