    It saddens me that they’ll probably catch him down the road. Used to be able to get away after this kind of Daring Escape. Just ride off into the sunset. Stupid fucking technology ruins everything.

      Probably even had a really great one-take scene showing how he got there with a great memorable musical number to take focus for a couple minutes.

    What did he escape from the most? The penalties for stealing the boat and running around naked, or the bills for the hospital?

      He probably just forged a check for the latter, like in the original movie.

    Nice how all cities over 1 million people share the same spirit. This exact story could have happen in Berlin.
