One thing I didn't get when I watched the movie was that the roller-blading clone who is killed at the beginning knew about the plan to start the new ice age. So, Whoopi and her partner stand on the roof and see the truck chasing him, straight up watch the guy get murdered, THEN swoop down to take on the weird thugs. If they had been better at their jobs, they could have intervened earlier and learned what Adam knew. What I'm saying is that Whoopi and her partner were terrible cops, and if they were better at their jobs, the whole thing could have been avoided.
