So many scenes were hilarious.

So many good parts but my favorite was the announcer when he said "uhhh, we appear to be, experimenting some techmological differences"
I busted a gut at that part.

That bit didn't make much sense to me, though.
I mean, if the inflation is so bad that you have to spend 20 billion just to get on a ride - how much would that be converted to today's currency?
(I have no idea how much such rides cost in the 'real world')
But let's say it's 20 bucks for the sake of simplicity.
So, this guy gets all excited because of 80 bucks worth of currency? Would YOU endanger your life and take some fugitive on a long ride for mere 80 bucks?
And how plausible is it that this guy goes through time and opens a savings account and the interest accumulates for 500 years without the bank closing the account first (like anyone's going to believe that the guy is alive that long), AND going through all that trouble, the whole thing will only accumulate to 80 mere billion (80 bucks worth)?
I mean, couldn't he at least use a more plausible scheme, like, going back a couple of weeks/months to use the lottery numbers to win a lottery, or something? That would probably get them sextillions of money, or whatever 'millions worth' would be.
But no, 500 years old savings account and 80 bucks.. somehow seems like a very tiny sum for all that trouble and such an unsure gamble.
All that for the sum that allows you to go on a boring, unpopular ride four times. Something's not right, here. Why didn't he add a little more zeroes to the number, while he was lying anyway? I mean, HE is not supposed to be dumb! -

That got me thinking. What inflation rate would you need in order for $20 to become $20 billion in 500 years time? Turns out to be a little over 4.2% if compounded annually, which is not completely ridiculous. Makes me wonder if they actually did a similar calculation to come to the billion-dollar amounts in the movie. -

Actually, I liked when Officer Collins summarized his infiltration and embracement of Upgrayedd's lifestyle. His in-depth discussion and several slides included in his presentation. "A pimp's love is very different from that of a square."

Collins' speech about gaining the pimps confidenceand the look he gives them when the military brass tell him to get on with it.is amazing.
And when Collins remarks that ".It is a fascinating world though?" has me in hysterics.
"If you're lying..I'll be back"
