* FakeOutOpening: The first few minutes before the opening credits play out as if they belong in a horror or thriller picture, as the cabbies seem to be hunting Tyrone down before cornering him. The movie reveals the whole thing to be just a game the cabbies are playing as Tyrone loses one of the rollers in his hair and the cabbies go looking for it, only to have Tyrone call them "suckers" and escape in his own cab.

* GivingThemTheStrip: When the cabbies haul Albert from the kidnappers' van and his captors keep hold of his feet, Tyrone asks him if he's still wearing his father's oversized cowboy boots. Albert confirms this, so Tyrone swerves the cabbies' vehicle sideways and Albert's feet slip loose, leaving the baddies clutching his footwear.
