Trivia
Aldo says to Giovanni: "be positive, don't always look at "the dark side of the moon"". In the original version all the sentence is in italian with the exception of the quote of the album by Pink Floyd even if at the time of the movie the british band has still yet to born.

Quotes
Al: [Jack has accidentally "shot" The Boss's aunt and a bus driver and the three of them are on the run] What the fuck did you do, Jack? What the *fuck* did you do?
Jack: I did nothing bad, Al. I didn't mean it!
Al: We're dead meat.
[turns to Jack]
Al: And it's your fault, you damn pill-popper!
Jack: I just went like this!
[stretches his arms out in a T shape like a martyr - a bullet hits the car radio]
John: Hold the wheel, Al!
[turns to Jack]
John: Give me the gun, Jack!
John: [Jack gives him the gun] This gun is *cursed*, now it won't kill innocent people any more!
[throws it out the window, where it shoots the final bullet into a pedestrian's back. The pedestrian falls to the floor, dead, dropping his hat]

A real disappointment

A friend of mine warned me about watching this movie. He told me that he had never reached the end of it. Now i can understand why. The first "serious" movie of the Italian trio is a true disappointment. I cannot believe how bad this movies is, simply because it's almost totally based on an endless dialogue among them. There's nothing special in it and i am not surprised by the fact that it received, to say the least, mixed reviews at his debut. I am sure most of the people at the cinemas wanted to leave before the ending of this mess. After the first two movies, this one will not encouraging anyone to see their next one.
