* Ray Bones has just beaten up Harry Zimm and just shot Bo's fellow gangster Ronnie, so he needs to stage the room so he doesn't get blamed for the murder by putting his gun into Harry's hand so the police would think Harry shot the thug in "self-defense". While Ray tries to explain to Harry what he needs to do, Harry weakly raises the gun up into [[GroinAttack Ray's crotch]] in a TakingYouWithMe moment. Ray rather calmly pushes Harry's hand away with a calm, almost paternal-sounding "Come on, Harry, we don't have a lot of time, here." Also counts as an Awesome moment for both characters.

* When [[spoiler:Creator/HarveyKeitel shows up at the end]] playing Ray Bones in the FilmWithinAFilm, he has the crooked nose and tiny bald strip on top of his scalp from where Chili punched the real Ray in the face and grazed him with a bullet near the beginning. Clearly, both those moments made it into the screenplay.
