Actor Allusion: Sy Berman is played by James Caan. In a rather obvious reference to Caan's role as Sonny in The Godfather, Sy is targeted in an Assassination Attempt that involves dozens of rounds being emptied on him, similar to Sonny's infamous death scene. However, in this case Sy doesn't die from it. Rather, Sy musters enough strength to climb to his car and start it… and then it explodes.
