JFK assassination in-joke?


When the Germans attack the Resistance fighters' hideout, Nigel says, "My God, they're going to kill us all!" This is exactly what Governor Connally said during the JFK assassination. Coincidence?

Yeah. You've listened to the commentary. 👏

Actually, no. I'm something of a history buff.

Yes, when I saw this scene and he said "My God, they're going to kill us all!", it was such an unusual thing to say in those circumstances and so I too immediately thought about the JFK assassination, and came to the forums to ask others if they thought the same thing. Imagine my surprise that it's mentioned in the commentary, which I totally haven't seen by the way!

.......what a tool!

Well, the identity of Kennedy's killers remains top secret...
