Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The minivan is loaded into a frozen food truck. Upon arrival, they then exit through the back doors and into a shopping mall; driving through it. No one gets hurt, but swerve out of the way. After a few loops around the mall's centre, they're stopped by the same meter maid and commanding officer. The kids and father escape without the criminal taking out a ball pit; the meter maid responds by gripping onto the automobile and gets dragged off with it. She then swings onto the car's sunroof, but is smacked off by a Northfield banner; she comes out without harm. The chase persists on the second floor and as a final sin, the automobile smashes out the mall's window and destroys a flower shop.
  • The criminal nearly shoots himself in the head, but the weapon is revealed to be a lighter instead.
  • There's a brief fight scene with Daniel and two other goons; one of which accidentally shorts out the indoor carousel ride. The kid virtually falls off the ride, but is rescued at the last second.
