Line 37:
* [[The Loins Sleep Tonight]]: "I ain't much of a loverboy."
* [[Moral Myopia]]: The gang don't think they're doing anything particularly wrong, but those ''jerks'' who try to stop them from robbing banks, they were totally asking to be shot. (Of course, some of their enemies ''are'' jerks, but it isn't trying to stop murderous robbers that makes them so.)
* [[More Dakka]]: How the title characters went down, in the movie and in RLreal life. Those two had killed at least nine police officers over the course of their career, so the cops weren't taking any chances.
* [[Name and Name]]
* [[New Hollywood]]: One of the first movies of this era.
