In the Police montage, the camera following a "white bronco" is a direct reference to the infamous 1994 California highway chase where cops were chasing O.J. Simpson in a white Ford Bronco. Larry King, who cameos as the Ugly Stepsister, originally commentated on the chase. The montage's camerawork and overall appearance resembles the appearance of the television show Cops (1989).
