Throughout this title sequence we are shown many different camera shots and scenes which present the film. Throughout the sequence there is many different shots that present action, romance and comedy. It starts off very tense with many images of drug use, gun bullets and they use a loud crash sound to set the scene but then it carries on into party music which lightens the mood of the sequence. Throughout the sequence there is many different shots which gradually lightens the mood from gun bullets and drug use to fireworks, a dolphin, money and gradually onto love hearts but still with many different action shots of gun shots, cars coming out of fires and explosions which are all happening whilst these lighter toned scenes are being presented. The American flag during the sequence represents where the film is set and the silly behaviour shown shows that the film is a comedy as well as a part romance and action.
