- Is grabbing a little kid as a human shield the most evil act by a movie bad guy? In context, the character immediately has to go.
- Did Tom Noonan's character invent the internet? 'We can't say he didn't.'
- Could a man with a gun run from an LAX hotel onto the runways? Easier pre-9/11 but still hard; a 2020 version would have to address it, perhaps at Union Station.
- Did the film cause more bank robberies? The hosts cite internet claims listing armored-car robberies abroad and the 1997 North Hollywood Bank of America shootout, which they say left both robbers dead and 11 officers and seven bystanders injured and was partly blamed on the movie.
- The character's line that the Super Bowl cleaned him out is placed as the Chargers-Niners Super Bowl with jokes about him backing the Chargers against Steve Young, gambling touts and betting the Pro Bowl.
- What happened to Chris? He moves to Vegas, maybe starts a sports book, and is probably killed within two years by someone he owes.
- Dominic's life looks dark per Drucker; a Netflix version could have Portman as a detective chasing Dominic, and Neil and Eady may have had a son.
- Was Neil a hypocrite for going back for Chris during the bank shooting? He breaks his own rules throughout, including hiring Haysbert's fry cook as a driver.
- Heat 2 options: modernize with new people and tech, an all-Black cast, Kelso starting Facebook, or a generational sequel with Portman's character, Dominic, Neil and Eady's son and the girl Cheritto grabbed seeking revenge.
