    • Trivia
      At one point, Detroit wears a pair of earrings with the phrases BURY THE RAG and DEEP IN YOUR FACE. These are lyrics from "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" by Bob Dylan, which is a protest song about a poor African-American woman murdered by a wealthy white man. ("Bury the rag deep in your face/ Now's the time for your tears".)
    • Goofs
      When Detroit is caught while vandalizing an advertisement for WorryFree, the letters she spray paints on the wall change from "S" to "SL" and back to "S" between shots.

      Sergio: Me and my family?

      Cassius Green: Yeah.

      Sergio: Cassius, I'm your fuckin' uncle.

    This Movie Will Mess You Up a Little

    I won't give anything away, but just prepare to be shocked and a little messed up by this movie. It's an understatement to say that it's not the movie you think you're gonna see. With that being said, it's got plenty of humor and we really liked it...but it definitely messed us up a little. You're gonna want to phone a friend after the movie ends so you can re-adjust to the real world.
