The Brass Teapot
Short description
A young married couple, John and Alice, are struggling financially: he loses his job and she has been unable to find work. Their luck appears to change when they come across an old brass teapot with an unusual power. It produces cash whenever someone nearby feels pain. The couple begins inflicting harm on themselves to collect the money, and their scheme soon draws the attention of others who want the teapot for themselves.

What's left behind the scenes
- At the 43rd minute, a bottle of "Chaynik vodka" is visible in the frame.
- While John and Alice are in the library, Alice tears a page out of the book "Magical Objects and Potions." When John first notices this, the pages between which the page was torn are clearly visible. In the next shot with John, it is noticeable that these are entirely different pages.
- After the scene in the maternity hospital, it shows stacks of dollars piling up, and the hundred-dollar bills in the top two stacks have identical serial numbers.
- At the end of the movie, when the Jewish brothers shoot at Arnie, it is clearly visible that a squib, poorly secured by the props team, falls off his body from under his t-shirt.
