OK a silly question but does anyone recognise the tropical beach at the end of the movie?

What I'd like to know - was he just ad-libbing in that beach-scene? You can clearly see the supposed 'agents' bursting to laugh and trying to hold their laughter etc.

Another thing I'd like to know - what happens to him when his luck runs out? When she finds out he isn't a super agent, and when the agents find out the same. Also, when he finds out that it's not an actor studio that wants to hire him but "An AGENCY" - what will his reaction be? I mean, at some point, the truth is bound to be revealed to all parties involved. Then what happens? I guess we're (as well as the writers) lucky that the movie ended before any of these questions had to be answered.

I think that JW had a body double for the real beach scene as you never see her face whilst the camera is panning out & he has the guys on all 4's barking like dogs or whatever, the reason JW is not there is because they filmed it stateside & she didn't fly over for it!! watch it again and see if you agree with me

I think a body double was used for the panning shots because she was pregnant at the time the scene was shot. If you look at her as she is standing and turns slightly to the side of Murray she is clearly starting to show and while she is standing facing forward she keeps her arms crossed over her belly.
