My favorite is when they are at the after party, the scene where they are cutting lines and it is all filmed from under the table they are cutting on. Cafe Del Mar coming in oh-so-quietly in the background.

Freakin fantastic!

There is another one where they are trying to rob a bank that is the neighbor to a rave. They use the rave to cover up the sound of drilling through the wall. Can't remember the name. Pretty good movie tho.
