Bandits
When first watching this movie, I found some of the bank robberies--
though very slick and original--to be quite implausible. If the film wasn't as
charming and likable, I'd probably have a difficult time suspending
disbelief. But then I found out the story of the "Sleepover Bandits" was
actually based on a real duo of bank robbers. Of course, this is nowhere
close to a biopic and most of the story is obviously fiction, the concept of
these two guys sleeping over the bank managers' houses and robbing their
banks the next morning was based on truth. Why these managers didn't
call the cops while the two guys weren't watching or why they didn't try to
strangle the two guys in their sleep--I don't know. The truth really is
stranger than fiction. But the bandits did have an interesting gimmick: they
only robbed banks, since the money belonged to the government; they
never snatched money from people's pockets. There's actually a scene in
the movie in which they bust out of prison and rob a lady's car. Willis hands
the lady her pocketbook and says, "Don't forget your pocketbook."
