Freeze-Frame Ending | |
| Trouble Man / int_14bfa98 | comment |
Freeze-Frame Ending: An unusual example. The credits roll over a freeze-frame of T's car pulling out of the police station parking lot, but then after the credits end, the image unfreezes and the car pulls into traffic before the movie ends. | |

| Trouble Man / int_e43b42ea | comment |
We Need a Distraction: T visits the record office at the police station and has his girlfriend Cleo (Paula Kelly) call the office, pretending to be a college newspaper journalist researching for an article about government jobs for graduates. While the officer who works there talks to her, T steals his gun from the evidence cabinet. At the end of the movie, he persuades a policewoman to pretend to misunderstand the codes she works with. While the officer is explaining them to her, T places the gun back in the evidence cabinet so no one will suspect anything. | |
