The trivia item below may give away important plot points. When the salesman chases Doug on the snowmobile, upbeat swing music can be heard. Reminiscent of the soundtracks of the 007 film franchise. This scene itself may be an homage to a scene in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", the only 007 film to star George Lazenby in the lead role.
Goofs[]
