Memorable Moments

In one scene, Colt is in the bad guys' hotel suite but must make a hasty getaway when they return, so he jumps off the balcony into the swimming pool below, where he winds up splashing David Carradine, who's sitting poolside. He tells the actor that he's rehearsing a stunt for his latest movie and to call him if he needs him. Carradine looks up at the high balcony and says, "Rehearsing a stunt? A likely story!"

Also, Howie tries out for the Elvis impersonator contest and does the most God-awful impression of Elvis ever. At the end, contest judge Mickey Gilley tells Howie he won...for Worst Elvis Impression!
