Oh, don’t be fooled into thinking Pat Morita is in this movie despite billing. He shows up for literally two minutes. Morita drops the kid off, tells Joe the kid is his responsibility, and before Joe gets to ask “Huh? Why? Who the f*ck are you?” Morita literally throws a smoke bomb and gets the f*ck out of this picture. I am not kidding or glossing anything over. Morita shows up, says “Hey, take care of this kid for a week” and BAM smoke bomb. Out for the movie! What the f*ck!? Have we got to this point yet? Are we now explaining away plot holes with the ‘look over there!’ smoke bomb explanation?
"Smoke bomb!"
