    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      For the bank robberies sequence, Tyler Hoechlin (Michael Sullivan, Jr.) had to learn to drive, something he was only too happy to do. Hoechlin mastered it all easily, but, just to be on the safe side, a stunt driver was sitting in the back, with his own set of driving controls.
    • Goofs
      In that era, gentlemen removed their hats indoors, particularly in places like diners. Even not-so gentlemen. To not do so would have attracted attention.
    • Quotes
      • Michael Sullivan, Jr.: So when do I get my share of the money?
      • Michael Sullivan: Well... how much do you want?
      • Michael Sullivan, Jr.: Two hundred dollars.
      • Michael Sullivan: Okay. Deal.
      • [Michael Jr. stops eating and thinks for awhile]
      • Michael Sullivan, Jr.: Could I have had more?
      • Michael Sullivan: You'll never know.
