113 Sneakers (1992)
- The name ``Werner Brandes'' was inspired by Dr 'Werner Brandes' (qv), an
associate teacher at Exeter Prep School in New England.
- Mother ('Dan Aykroyd' (qv)) wants a Winnebago. Aykroyd co-wrote and starred
as Elwood Blues in "The Blues Brothers (1980)" (qv). That film featured
``The Good Ole Boys'', a country and western band which drive around in a
large Winnebago that Elwood was responsible for the destruction of.
- Mother wears a T-shirt bearing the name ``Aleka's Attic'', a band formed by
co-star 'River Pheonix' (qv).
- Whistler is seen eating a box of ``Capt'n Crunch''. In the 1970's, ``Capt'n
Crunch'' came with a small whistle in the box. A hacker named ``Captain
Crunch'' (John Draper) discovered that this whistle could be used to get
free phone calls (``phreaking''). Whistler is patterned after Joe Engressia,
a blind telephone expert born with perfect pitch.
