Corrected entry: Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, Brian grabs his friend Yabo's skateboard and throws it behind himself, after Yabo wipe's out and hits his head in a pool. Seconds later the board is lying next to where Yabo fell.

Correction: Brian throws his own deck when he goes to see Yabbo. Yabbo's board is still rolling around after Brian put his own board behind him.

Factual error: After the passenger door gets ripped off the Oldsmobile Toronado, a female voice is heard repeating that the "passenger door is ajar." While the Toronado was available with an optional Voice Alert system, the GM system used a male voice.

More quotes from Gleaming the Cube

Question: In the later scene where the two Asian gang members are being interrogated to discover who hired them, they jokingly say something to each other in their own language, the translator cop makes some smug comment back, and then reveals to Steven Bauer that their employer was Lauderdale. Is anyone able to translate what was said during this little exchange?

Gavin Jackson

Answer: More than likely, it was probably something made up and meaningless. But of course, we would never know because it's Vietnamese. The best you can do is have a Vietnamese person view that part of the film and get them to translate it if it was actually a real sentence being spoken, which I doubt.
