The guard with the briefcase and the guards with the cart are different, start from different places, and only meet in the elevator right before the vault. If the plan was to have the briefcase ensure delivery of the cart, I don’t see how it does that.
Do you remember how big the explosives were? They were three really small(quite a bit smaller than Yen’s hands) gem shaped things. There is no way there wasn’t enough room in the cart for them.
No, there’s no outer rotating door. Not in the movie at least. In fact, you’ve reminded me of another huge hole. Why did they need to get someone inside the vault with explosives anyway? Why not blow up the door from the outside?
Re: how the escort flyers got in the van after it pulled of, IIRC it’s listed in goofs on IMDB.com and maybe in the commentary track that they acknowledge afterwards there’s really no way to figure out how that actually makes sense.
It’s also a term for a cut of beef, as well as the rod part of a tool like a screwdriver, which is the source of it’s use as a stabbing weapon in prison.
It’s a generic, albeit somewhat archaic word for the shin - see Edward Longshanks - which is what part of the animal (not just cows) is used for the shank.
Quite a few things (including, but not limited to, shoes, nails, anchors, and buttons) have shanks…some can be used to make shanks in the shiv sense, others…would not be so practical.
The Prodigal Son demands his inheritance early, burns through it and has to take a job as a swine herder to survive.
After years of hearing the story it hit me that he isn’t just trapped in a crappy job no one else wants- he’s Jewish and pigs aren’t kosher . I’ve seen references to some people not even saying the word ‘pig,’ it’s considered so disgusting. So for this guy to resort to living among a herd of pigs shows that he’s hit absolute rock bottom financially and spiritually.
Presumably they were owned by non-Jews. According to my Bible, the son “took his journey into a far country”, and “squandered his property in loose living” and then took the swineherd job, working for “one of the citizens of that country”.
Another version would be a vegan die-hard Red Sox fan moving to NYC to live the wild life. When they spend all their cash the only job they can get is working the grill at a Yankee’s bar.
Well, in the story, the Prodigal Son was probably in Gentile territory.
But let’s stretch the question to the Demoniac in Gadara & the herd of swine- not only Jews lived in those areas. Remember, Roman soldiers were all over & they needed to eat.
OK, this is not “the millionth time” but a couple of weeks ago I was watching an episode of a Brit TV series called “Hinterland” about a big-city detective (a police detective, not a private detective) who does something so awful that the only fitting punishment they can mete out to him is send him to a remote (for Great Britain) part of Wales to do his detecting.
In one scene he’s detecting at a farmhouse, and while he’s asking question, the housewife is dressing (i.e., gutting and skinning, though only the gutting is shown) a bunch of rabbits. I watched the scene, thought nothing of it, then this morning woke up and realized “Welsh rabbit!” They were making a pun on Welsh rarebit!
