The cop in the toilet - brutal!

How about that scene when they run down the cop in the toilet?

First, it looks like the car is just going to follow the cop that drove off, then the car swerves for the portable toilet, and looks like they hit the camera as well!

Then the thugs get out and check on the injured cop, and they were going to shoot him. The hitman gets a plank of wood and finishes him off to make it look like a truck hit the toilet.

It was a seemingly long and brutal scene! It really boosted the viewer's perception of the hitman.

Very memorable, a lot like how the two brothers get beaten in the bushes in Casino.

Almost gratuitous;

it definitely added something, it would have worked in a Dirty Harry film, too..

it was one of those brutally violent and callous scenes where you are transfixed and laugh, like the typical hits in 'Sopranos"..it also definitely added to Renva's character development.

What the movie didn't show was the s__t and urine that would have spilled out of the toilet. It would have spilled out of the door before Renda and Lundy opened it.

Yeah, that, plus the blue liquid that's in those port-a-potties. Not very realistic, even if it was pretty brutal.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

That scene certainly makes an impact. You don't see it happen up-close and yet it's so vicious.

You want something corny? You got it!
