Line 100:
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: Moral crusader Eliot Ness earned his men the nickname "The Untouchables" by his vehement refusal of a large bribe from Al Capone.
* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: With the exception of the occasional Tommy Gun, the Untouchables wield pump-action shotguns as their main long arms.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The baby carriage rolling down the stairs in Union Station is a direct homage to the famous "Odessa Steps" sequence in Sergei Eisenstein's 1925 masterpiece ''[[The Battleship Potemkin]]''.
** It's even more impressive when you know that the sequence was a last-minute alternative to the original scene, a car/train chase that was prohibitively expensive (the chase did make the novelization).
* [[The Squad]]: Also a [[Badass Crew]].
