Trivia

There is a reference to the 2002 movie Spider-Man when Sarah is standing on a balcony while Chuck is still hanging upside down on a rope and Chuck asks, “Hey, Spider-Man kiss?”

Lester’s line of  “Jeffrey, we have been made. Get the suicide pills. We are going down like Thelma and Louise,” is referring to the 1991 movie Thelma & Louise.

Lester tries to pull a Jedi mind trick on Morgan by saying: “We are not the boys you’re looking for,” which is a reference to the 1977 movie Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
