The Coney Island Roller Coaster train is made of fiberglass, not wood, as a 1940s coaster train would be.
Fiberglass was introduced commercially in 1936, but it was used mostly as insulation.
It wasn't used for applications like roller coasters until well into the 1950's.
Both times that Hooker rides the Coney Island roller coaster, his cap stays neatly in place, on his head, for the entire ride.
In reality, that type of coaster can reach speeds of 60-70mph.
His cap should've blown off during the first drop.

This film suffers from being associated with the original, which is a better movie, but it's quite enjoyable on it's own.
On its own this film isn't bad but if you compare it to the original then you will be disappointed. I only wanted to see it as I was such a fan of the original anyway, but the thing that really annoyed me was why were the first names of Gondorf and Hooker changed to Fargo?
The first movie is a masterpiece. This movie isn't as bad as to have a zero percent on rotten tomatoes.
*Spoiler/plot- The Sting II, 1983. A group of con artists wish to revenge a friend's death by a mob boss and concoct a 'Sting' to teach the crime boss a lesson by taking his money and punishing him.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I think part two was even better than part one. That's probably a blasphemous statement considering how good The Sting was, but this was at least equally good.
Abysmal.But a one-word review is not allowed, so let me reiterate how horrible this sequel is, going so far as to make you NOT want to watch the far superior original film.
THE STING was an absolute masterpiece! I loved that movie when it was in the theaters in 1974.
I can't figure out how I made Hollywood so angry that it created The Sting 2, an anti-Sting, unfunny, dull, mouth-breathingly stupid. I actually made the free-will choice to see this trash at a drive-in theatre.
Sequels often disappoint and are often the poor relation of the first film. However, this is a very under-rated, well written and acted sequel.
