Silver Streak/YMMV
- Crosses the Line Twice/Crowning Moment of Funny: In order to sneak past the police, Grover switches clothes with George and covers his face in brown shoe-polish.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Clifton James and Richard Kiel have small supporting roles as a Corrupt Hick and a Giant Mook with bad dental work, respectively.
- Moral Event Horizon: In a previous art scandal, Devereau is suspected/confirmed to have blown up an entire passenger plane to kill a handful of people who might have exposed him.
- Retroactive Recognition: A young Fred Willard plays a station operator in Chicago.
- Unfortunate Implications: Thankfully averted. When George is applying the the shoe-polish to his face, the script called for a white man to walk into the bathroom, and mistake George for a black man. Richard Pryor was able to convince the director that it would be funnier if a black man walked into the bathroom instead, and wasn't fooled for a second (but still realized that George must really be in trouble if he was trying something so stupid).
