Inane thing... Need help!!!


I know it's a stupid inane thing to pick up on, but at the beginningish of the film where JB first meets KG on the beach, behind JB is a sunglasses stand. I have a bet with my boyfriend because I think it says "OKLEY" like an homage, but he thinks it just says "OAKLEYS" and they haven't changed it at all. Did anyone else notice this?

I believe it says OAKLEY, like the sunglasses brand.

it might say okley for legal reasons. they may want you to just get the idea that its a oakley. like you could see a coke can in a movie if only half of the label was showing unless coca cola deliberatly sponsored the film

I just looked it up on the DVD. Time Index 00:07:08. It says OKLEY or O'KLEY. (I used digital zoom, 4x) If you want to, you can misinterpret the ' for a part of the A so if you don't look at it for long your mind's gonna tell you OAKLEY. There's also a little line on the left side of the K, supporting the sort-of ' for being an A... But it definitely says not OAKLEY like the original name/logo.
Looks like you won... Better look it up yourself with your friend to prove it. Or get a screenshot ;)

I know it's trivia and five years late, but just to set the record straight, the sign almost certainly bears the "Oakley" logo, shown here:

BTW, the Google Earth location of the KG-JB boardwalk meeting scene is:

34°00'30.34" N 118°29'37.87" W

Put that into the search box in upper left.
