When Lickboot was at the climax when the cottage was burning down, he seemed genuinely concerned about Robyn's safety, telling her she needed to get out of the cabin before it burned down. Also while Figg was content to leave Robyn to die, Lickboot was more reluctant.
- Even though the movie was harshly received (especially with the fans), Lickboot had unanimous praise, due to his catchphrase, "We've got to have money!" and became a popular internet meme.
