I think I missed something from earlier in the movie. How did Rotzinger figure out that the name "Chipowski" wasn't a real name and that this meant the man on the plane was the robber?

The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
exactly what i was left wondering! is that the name he gave as a hostage? wouldnt make any sense if it was, why think up a fake address and then use a name from earlier that day! hmmmm
shareRotz: What do I call you?
Bill Murray: Call me Chip! No wait...call me Skip!
This happened early in the movie, so you may not notice it the first time.
I tell ya, I like the sound of a Beer Church.
The big question is why end the movie there like they are "got away" with the crime?
In real life, I figure a phone call would be made and that plane would be coming right back to the airport to question Mr Chip/Skipowski.
Yeah but the chief either respected Grim for helping him with Lambino and/or the sophistication of the Bank Robbery.
shareIt was a bad move for Murray to toy with the detective and say his name was "Chipowski", the detective figured it out when the plane took off but for a Federal crime the detective would have just found out where the plane was landing and had it either turned around(likely to happen due to a major federal crime suspect) or have the plane met where Murray and his friends would be detained and searched and the money found. There is no way they would have gotten away with it and nothing would have happened just because they managed to get on a plane to fly out of New York after robbing a bank.
They really should have just hid the money well, went about their daily lives for a few days/weeks, and then just drove well out of the state and then caught a plane somewhere else. Nobody would have know or figured it out. Trying to get out of the city that very night made it more likely they would get caught.
I don't think it was intentional. I just finished the movie, and actually he gives his name as "Skapowski." He even specifically spells it out as "S-K-A-P" to the chief. Then later on the chief accidentally mispronounces the name as "Chipowski," and that's when he puts it all together. I think the point was that, when put on the spot, Grimm tends to make up names that sound similar, and that's what tipped the chief off.
shareThe name he gives is "Chipowski." The only part he spells is the S-K-I at the end.

\o/ STEVE HOLT!
Well, where were they going? If they were going to Martinique, maybe there was no extradition treaty to get them back to the US.
shareRemember when he first talks to Grimm at the bank and the first name Grimm gives is Chip? I think that might've tipped him off. He wasn't an idiot.
