  • Everyone is on a heat check; Anthony Clark tries to win it but it goes badly.
  • The first inanimate-object nomination in Rewatchables history: VX gas, with very small screen time, looking great, and as bad as imagined when stuffed in a mouth, "a literal heat check"; the nomination is welcomed.
  • Most usual candidates are poor parts (Claire Forlani, the hairdresser) or, like Connery, in the movie too much.
  • A vote for William Forsyth as the FBI man: an early asshole who is kind when Cage pukes (a Cage improvisation), then lets it slide that Mason is alive; with Raising Arizona history, quietly very good; he gets it if a person must win.
