Trivia: The Golden Child only speaks once in the entire film, saying, "I know". (01:23:05)

The Jackal (1997)
Question: Why did the Jackal pick up Douglas at the gay bar? How did that fit into his plan?
Chosen answer: A couple of reasons. Douglas was a presidential aide, and could be giving Jackal information about the president and family's movements, even without meaning to. Secondly, he needed to be near DC to carry out the assassination attempt, and since the FBI et al were looking for him since they knew he had entered the States, having a place to live without having to go to a hotel where it is likely the staff would have been notified to be on the lookout for him gave him some anonymity.

Trivia: In the scene where Jack Putter's nightmare (about the overpriced items) becomes real while he's at work, a customer in line wearing glasses and a gray jacket says, "at $800 a bottle, who'd want to?". This was Chuck Jones. This is one of many references to "Looney Tunes"

Chosen answer: Feldman is the type of guy who wants to be as thorough as possible, as seen with his cocaine tasting like sugar and drug dogs being unable to smell it. He would not want any ships that could possibly be passing by to hear the shot.
