  • Real Rockheads love the morgue-scene lines about the feet and "that's the most awful thing I've ever seen"; Cage's subtle readings like "FBI, freeze, sucker" and introducing himself as Stanley Goodspeed are favorites, and the Rocket Man quote is the stupidest but still funny.
  • Connery saying "I'm too old for this" is a nod to other action movies, going full Danny Glover.
  • "Inject that in your suit before your heart melts" is also offered.
