Trivia:

During pre-production, the film was originally supposed to carry a hard R rating, but after deliberations, the studio had to tone down the film's script to PG-13. This meant changing the plot, dialog and characters. John August was hired as a "script doctor" to make these changes.

Goofs:

Miscellaneous: In the scene where Miles, Tully and Deek are in the back of the truck with the heroine, when the big magnet picks up the truck, Deek is still able to hold the metal gun in his hand.

Quotes:

Miles Logan: I'm a federale.

Very Funny Movie

I know that many people may not like this movie, but I thought it was very good. The plot was very simple and unique, the characters performed well, and the movie itself was very entertaining. There were some funny and memorable parts, including the famous oodles of noodles scene. In my opinion the funniest character in Blue Streak was Sulley. All of his parts were funny, and I feel he expressed his part very well. I recommend that you see this movie before Blue Streak 2 comes out in 2002. Overall, 8 of 10.
