Anyone catch the Jackson Pollock reference come full circle at the end?
If you know what I’m referring to let me know. I thought it was a clever bit by Mann, and only recently caught it, and I’ve seen this film countless times.
shareI don't understand what you are talking about.
shareThe first time Sonny and Ricardo meet José Yero, Sonny pulls out a grenade in a bitchin’ cool move, imo, and Ricardo says,
“I’m gonna tell you what’s gonna happen. People are gonna come in here, and you know what they gonna say ? They gonna look around and go ’Oh ah, hell. That’s some crazy mother-fucking wallpaper, what is that? Jackson Pollock?‘”
Followed by Sonny, “No, viero. That was José Yero. Got splattered all over his own wall.”
And how did Yero die, splattered/painted in Jackson Pollock fashion onto a wall by a Benelli M4 Super 90 shotgun, fired by Ricardo.
Like I said, I’ve seen this film countless times and only just caught that reference come full circle. Well played by Mann.
