Talk:The Hot Rock (film)

Untitled
dortmunder is not the one that's approached by dr.amusa. it's actually andrew kelp, dortmunder's brother in law. dortmunder has to be convinced to join in, and than he agrees to run the job. incidently, this film is extraordinary. strange that its very rarely mentioned by those that were involved, especially redford. it's better than most of his other films. also quincy jones' music seems impossible to obtain even though it's also a masterpiece.Longinus876 15:32, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

world trade centre trivia
Why is a helicopter flying past a building and the scene not making a later tv edit notable, even as trivia? Am I missing an anachronism or something? If so then it could probably use being better explained in the article, rather than just assuming it to be self-evident. 87.246.64.2 (talk) 13:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

It's the 9/11 event that is being referenced. A painful reminder is sometimes avoided, in the interest of good taste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.62.231 (talk) 12:16, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Not true?
Long ago I heard that this was the first Hollywood movie where bad guys got away in the end. Seems ridiculous now that I think about it, but can anyone speak to this?

Vandals keep trying to make this article dumber. Redford clearly says BANANASTAN as in the book. It rhymes. Maravelous (talk) 17:13, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * it is generally quoted as "banana stand", , given that's what it is in the book —blindlynx (talk) 17:34, 17 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I can give you 6 citations with BANANASTAN but rather than roboting why not click on the youtube link what a great idea. What does Redford say? Maravelous (talk) 19:02, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It sounds like he quickly says 'bananastand' which is what it is in the book and in quotes. I appreciate that there isn't much difference between the two, perhaps both should be included?—blindlynx (talk) 19:40, 17 May 2021 (UTC)


 * In the correct case it rhymes. In the second case they add a d.  But this has made me significantly stupider and I have to bow out of the discussom Maravelous (talk) 20:15, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
