Trivia: In an interview, Brett Ratner admitted that the first part of the karaoke scene with Chris Tucker wasn’t supposed to be filmed. Tucker refused to act like Michael Jackson with the cameras running. During takes, he went up as entertainment for everyone. Secretly, Ratner told the cameramen to film it but to not let Tucker notice them.
Goofs: Continuity: Lee’s hands come apart when he jumps over the table, even though they are supposed to be taped together.
