Questions from my 8th viewing

Right after the first call to Sam, there's an overhead shot of Sam's house with a TV announcer narrating that Sam Stone's wife was kidnapped. Also, after Sam is released, Sam is on TV as he is leaving the jail. In both instances, the announcer's voice sounds like the late Phil Hartman. Imdb lists three people as newscasters, but there are three on-camera newscasters (and one off-camera) that also appear in the film.

Some other personal observations... Carol tells Earl to make a copy of the tape while at Earl's house, yet they have to go to an appliance store to watch the tape. "Hey, that's my husband"

When Ken goes off to work for the first time, Sandy is in a waitress uniform with a name tag. They both can't go to work and leave Barbara there.

The orange sculpture at the "Hope Street Plaza" looks a lot like the orange sculpture in Chicago seen in Ferris Bueller. They both were done by the same person and (in my opinion) are a waste of money.

In the camera shot where the bumper of the car goes below the water's surface, we're watching a film that is running in reverse. Water is washing -UP- over the trunk and the bubbles are going down.

When the police caravan is going past LAX, they are heading south. Ken is heading south when he turns onto Santa Monica Pier. However, Santa Monica Pier is north of LAX.
