Who shoots “Nice Guy Eddie” Cabot in the climactic shootout?
BEST EXPLANATION: What goes down after the Mexican standoff has long been the subject of debate. The script has Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) blasting away at Eddie (Chris Penn) after shooting Eddie’s father (played by Lawrence Tierney).
But it didn’t go down like that when they got around to shooting the scene. According to Penn, a squib misfired, causing Harvey to go down before he could put a bullet in Eddie. This mistake didn’t bother the director, says Penn: “Quentin said ‘You know what? It’ll be the biggest controversy of the film. We’re leaving it.’ He was definitely right.”
