Trivia[]

PGE Park is the home of the Portland Beavers. In one of the scenes of the ball park, a man is seen wearing a T-shirt with the word "Oregon" on it.
Hardison's final words to Lucille, "I've always been, and forever shall be, your friend. I'll never forget you.", is a reference to Spock's final words in Star Trek.
The opening scene contains a distinctive speed limit sign bearing the phrase "Speed 25". The naming convention "Speed XX" rather than "Speed Limit XX" is unique to Oregon, which has a grandfathered exception from federal sign standards.
Parker is conversational in Spanish but does not seem to recognize it as another language.
