1 plot hole
Directed by: Frank Oz
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Steve Martin, Heather Graham, Terence Stamp, Jamie Kennedy, Christine Baranski
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: As Daisy walks past Slater to see Bobby, her arms are at her sides. In the next shot, her hands are behind her back, clenched together.
Kit: White boys always get the Oscar. It's a known fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No! You know why? Cause I hadn't played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped. That's how you get the nomination. A black dude who plays a slave that gets his ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the Oscar. That's what I need, I need to play a retarded slave, then I'll get the Oscar.
Trivia: During Daisy's topless scene, Jiff Ramsey says to Daisy, "You're doing great! You're gonna be a star." Eddie Murphy ad-libbed this line.

Answer: It's done with CGI. Such freeway scenes are impossible to do with stunt drivers as you would need very complicated choreography to make it look believable.
