Tropes for the film:
- Hand-or-Object Underwear: Bill Campbell gets his clothes and car stolen at gunpoint, leaving him fully naked. He covers his genitals with a mailbox, but is promptly caught and laughed at by a busload of female students. He is picked up on the highway (still fully naked) by two brothers, and later dons a scarecrow's outfit.
- I Want You to Meet an Old Friend of Mine: Jones and Broderick previously worked together on Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
- One-Steve Limit: The movie has a pair of brothers named Jim. "We were named after different people though. I'm named after our Dad, and he was named after our Grandpa".
- Stripping the Scarecrow: Bill has his car and clothes stolen at gunpoint, meaning for a while he running around totally naked covering his parts with just a mail box. He soon takes a scarecrow's clothes to preserve his modesty.
- Tagline: "He's got 24 hours to find his missing wallet with a phone number worth a hundred million dollars. There's only one place he hasn't looked".
