    Storyline

    • Trivia
      An unforeseen expense for the film was the make-up department buying expensive fake blood at eight hundred dollars a gallon. Joel Coen realized why they were spending so much when it came time to film the scene where Llewelyn (Josh Brolin) stumbles across the aftermath of a shoot-out with lots of extras lying around dead in the dust. Ordinary fake blood (made with sugar) would have meant the extras would have been crawling with bugs and ants, while the insects had no interest in the expensive stuff.
    • Goofs
      Radio transmitting devices in the early 1980s would have used large batteries to transmit for lengthy periods of time and due to the batteries not holding a charge. Such a device would have been noticeable inside of the briefcase as it would have been at least the size of a box of bank checks or larger.

      Smaller transmitters only became possible with the widespread introduction of cellular technology from the mid-1990s and forward. It would not have been available in the film's 1980s setting.
    • Quotes

      Anton Chigurh: What's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?

      Gas Station Proprietor: Sir?

      Anton Chigurh: The most. You ever lost. On a coin toss.

      Gas Station Proprietor: I don't know. I couldn't say.

      [Chigurh flips a quarter from the change on the counter and covers it with his hand]

      Anton Chigurh: Call it.

      Gas Station Proprietor: Call it?

      Anton Chigurh: Yes.

      Gas Station Proprietor: For what?

      Anton Chigurh: Just call it.

      Gas Station Proprietor: Well, we need to know what we're calling it for here.

      Anton Chigurh: You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.

      Gas Station Proprietor: I didn't put nothin' up.

      Anton Chigurh: Yes, you did. You've been putting it up your whole life, you just didn't know it. You know what date is on this coin?

      Gas Station Proprietor: No.

      Anton Chigurh: 1958. It's been traveling twenty-two years to get here. And now it's here. And it's either heads or tails. And you have to say. Call it.

      Gas Station Proprietor: Look, I need to know what I stand to win.

      Anton Chigurh: Everything.

      Gas Station Proprietor: How's that?

      Anton Chigurh: You stand to win everything. Call it.

      Gas Station Proprietor: Alright. Heads then.

      [Chigurh removes his hand, revealing the coin is indeed heads]

      Anton Chigurh: Well done.

      [the gas station proprietor nervously takes the quarter with the small pile of change he's apparently won while Chigurh starts out]

      Anton Chigurh: Don't put it in your pocket, sir. Don't put it in your pocket. It's your lucky quarter.

      Gas Station Proprietor: Where do you want me to put it?

      Anton Chigurh: Anywhere not in your pocket. Where it'll get mixed in with the others and become just a coin. Which it is.

      [Chigurh leaves and the gas station proprietor stares at him as he walks out]

    Marvellous Ending
    The message of this film is that there is no symmetry to life. What goes around does not come around. The fall of the coin has no bearing on the way the cookie crumbles. There is no right or wrong to the fates of men. No justice. Opportunities seized may lead on to fortune, but they could just as well lead on to dusty death. Only children expect things to be fair. As things once were they need no longer be. Now that IMDb has decided to list reviews by date there is a slightly increased possibility that this effort will be read by someone. Performance reviews are absolutely not read by me for helpfulness, but for interest and entertainment.
