Audio problem: When Donnie is grabbed after leaving the Federal Reserve there is an audible sound like a fence is being hit, but the concrete barrier is front of the fence, and Donnie is never seen pushed into the fence.

Factual error: In the big shoot out scene in the "corridor" highway next to the train tracks (supposed to be the "Alameda Corridor" highway and train-way in LA) they are on a two lane one way road (as the Alameda Corridor is one way) through construction with barriers and temporary orange signage set up. However when you see the sheriff's team advancing on the Merriman and his men retreating in the direction of traffic, there are a large number of yellow permanent traffic signs (turn arrows and speed signs) up on posts and poles facing traffic the wrong way. This is obviously either a two-way road or a one-way road going the other way normally, but because it was next to railroad tracks they thought it could pass for the one-way southbound Alameda Corridor. Also, it is afternoon and the sun is on the driver's side windows which means they must be going northbound, which cannot be the Corridor. Part of the shootout scene shows a passing elevated transit train that is yellow-golden across the bottom half of its cars with green logo boxes at the end of each car side - no LA trains look like this. Lastly, as they are driving up to the shootout location they pass a whole lot of tall trees, some obviously evergreen pines, and sizable green spaces - there aren't any along the Alameda Corridor or that part of LA, and rare evergreens in that town (unless you count cypress or sequoias which these aren't).

Question: Early on we see the crooks put wet cash in a microwave, presumably to dry it. Would that work? I just assume you'd end up with hot wet cash - I would have thought an oven or hairdryer or something would be a better bet.

Jon Sandys

Answer: Considering how microwave ovens work, it seems it would. Microwaves work by bombarding whatever is inside with actual 'microwaves' which works to excite the water molecules within. Paper, and in the case of cash, cotton, wouldn't be affected on its own but the water inside would be. Ever had something wrapped in a paper towel when you microwave it? The cash is not metal, and the water content is what gets heated up inside and evaporated, so I believe it would work.

Quantom X

Answer: There are videos of people drying money in microwaves, but it was a single layer of bills. But it can be tricky because, like wet clothes, it can catch on fire in the microwave if let in too long.
