Line 76: * [[The Un-Reveal]]: What exactly happened during Jake's time in Chinatown. * [[Very Loosely Based on a True Story]]: The city of Los Angeles [[wikipedia:California Water Wars#Los Angeles Aqueduct: the beginning of the water wars\|really did]] steal water from valley farmers. Interestingly, this was neither the first nor the last time the events in question were fictionalized, merely the most well-known. * [[What Could Have Been]]: Anjelica Huston, John's real life ''daughter'', as Evelyn Mulwray. [[Squick]]. [[Harsher in Hindsight\|It was pretty awkward as it was]], given that Jack Nicholson had just started dating Anjelica in real life, making the scenes where John's character asks "Mr. Gittes, do you sleep with my daughter?" just...uncomfortable. Chinatown was meant to be one of three Jake Gittes movies. Nicholson never played another detective character, so that Gittes would remain his iconic PI. When the first sequel (''[[The Two Jakes]]'') finally got made, the results were underwhelming, torpedoing the chances of a third movie. *** Many elements of what would have been the third sequel turned up in ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'', notably the freeway arc. * [[Wretched Hive]]: From the way Jake reminisces about his days there and the events by the film's end, you can tell Chinatown was one of these. * [[World Half Empty]]: And completely dry.
