In one scene, the villain warns with a sinister sneer that the bracelet Martin wears is full of the same liquid explosives that caused the 2006 airport scare in the UK. If Martin strays too far from his car, the liquids will automatically mix and blow him up. Similarly, when hacking into computer systems, Martin’s friend extraneously quips, “You want to see the invasion plans for Iran...
