Polson's credit card


I think the name was Polson. Where did Ganz and Billy get it? The report was that it was stolen by a snatcher on a bike(?), so was it explained how they got it?


...then whoa, differences...

Did you notice after Ganz is on the phone ordering the hookers with the credit card, we see they leave behind a dead body? That dead body was Henry Wong, who was a gang member of theirs. He had lifted Polson's wallet and got his credit card and then they shot him and took it. He was the snatcher on the bike, according to what you said. I don't remember that mentioned.

I can't remember all the details now but it was fresh in my mind at the time of posting so I'm sure the snatcher on the bike was mentioned. Otherwise I see where you're going with them getting the credit card from the dead body that was shown. I'm just not sure it was explained very clearly in the movie, but then I'm easily distracted when I'm watching movies on TV too lol.

Henry Wong was killed because he was part of the gang with Luther, Reggie, and Ganz. They don't really explain how Ganz and Billy Bear got the credit cards from the kid on a bike with a switchblade, just like we don't know what happened to Rosalie (Luther's girlfriend) after Ganz shot him on the bus right in front of her.

If you read the script online there is a scene where Ganz and Billy meet Henry Wong shortly after the prison escape. Henry gives Ganz the credit cards and Ganz asks "how hot are they?" Henry says, "they're not even room temperature". Henry survives this scene but the next time we see him, he's on the park bench dead like in the film.

Good Lord you people need a life. Seriously, is the next question going to be "did Billy Bear wear sneakers or cowboy boots?" it's a movie for God's sake, not brain surgery...

No this is a message board for folks who want to discuss the movie 48 Hrs.If you feel like you have better things to do with your time then I have to ask why are you posting here amongst all of us losers? Who is it who needs a life?

I see more wrong in you taking the time to complain about it. Got a life?
