Question: Did Vincent die from wounds sustained during the shootout in Annie's office, or was he mortally wounded only during the final exchange of fire on the train? At first it seemed he was hit in the office (he *was* knocked down from an impact), but he managed to chase them around the subway for quite a bit with no noticeable effects. In the train, it looked like all of Max's shots hit the door, but I may be wrong.
Question: What's the name of the island that Jamie Foxx thinks about when work gets rough?
Answer: The Maldives.
Question: What is the name of the song that is played in the cab when Max is driving Annie? She tells him to turn it up.
Chosen answer: Hands of Time by Groove Armada.
Answer: I'm pretty sure this wasn't the original song they planned to use. Annie says she loves the classics and this song was only written about a year before the film was made. My guess is they had another song in mind and couldn't get the rights to it. Great song though.
Question: In the scene where Max shoots Vincent in the building, where does Vince get hit? Blood came out which I would assume would be the throat, but that would have killed him, or is this just a mistake?
Answer: I believe the shot hit him in the right cheek as that is where most of the blood is. I think it more grazed the cheek, as Vincent can't really talk when he is first shot but on the train can talk a bit more easily.
Question: Why did Vincent even bother with getting a cab? It seems like just renting a car would have made more sense.
Answer: Because the cabbie driver would be only 1 eye witness and I believe he planned to kill him at the end anyway.
Answer: Renting a car requires ID, a credit card, and a whole lot of other documentation that can be traced. Plus he'd be seen by many people and likely security cameras. Even if he faked all the paperwork, it's still far less risk to only be seen by a single cabbie.
Question: About how long would Annie's cab ride in the beginning of the movie have taken in real time?
Answer: From LAX to Downtown, about 40 minutes to an hour. Depending on the traffic getting out of the airport and heading to downtown.
Living in LA all my life, I can tell you the drive can be made in 20 minutes, without speeding. This is of course given light traffic conditions, which seems to be the case in the movie. Heavy traffic will add time of course, I'd say 45-50 mins at the most. (A quick Google Maps search just put the drive at 22 mins).
Question: When Max met Flexi, Flexi tells his guys "if he messes up kill him". Apparently the last target wasn't killed and Flexi's guy recognized Max as Vincent, then why didn't his guys kill him?
Question: Does anyone know the names of the music videos that were playing on the TV screens in the Korean nightclub during the nightclub shootout scene?
Answer: One is Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go.
Answer: Max's shot in Annie's workplace only skimmed the side of Vincent's head - not really that bad an injury, but enough to snap his head around, sending him to the floor. Vincent does indeed die from the wound sustained during the final exchange of fire. While at least one of Max's shots hit the door, from the damage seen, he's not trained with guns, so the bullets would be quite widely spread - obviously one got past the doorframe to hit Vincent.
