Benny Blanco plot hole
So at the end, Carlito gets double crossed by his friend, and Benny shoots Carlito. Then Benny shoots the guy who just helped him kill Carlito. Why would he kill a guy who just helped him?
shareDespite being one of the supposedly honourable "old barrio crowd", Pachanga had become an opportunist, motivated by money alone. This is why he double crossed Carlito, his friend of many years.
Benny Blanco realised that Pachanga had no loyalty and would probably wack him out if there was some benefit to Pachanga, monetary or otherwise, in the future. He just used Pachanga to find out Carlito's whereabouts on that particular evening (Grand Central Station). After this, Pachanga was of no real use to him and represented a potential liability for the reasons I mentioned - in Benny's mind the simplest way to wrap things up was kill Pachanga too.
It may have also been payback for when Pachanga roughed him up at the night club earlier on in the movie.
Its one of the great "laugh while you cry" moments in movies.
Its all so sad how Carlito has made it this far only to be shot at the last minute by a guy he forgot about. He's dying.
And Carlito's lover(and mother of his unborn child) is crying and in shock.
And we get:
Pachanga: (To Benny) Let's go.
Benny: No...you stay here. (BANG. Pachanga joins Carlito in death, just that quick.)
Its great payback for treachery...and its funny.
Not much of a plot hole. Good try, though!
