Something cool I noticed


I don't know if it was intentional or a coincidence but I've seen this movie hundreds of times and I just now noticed something. Around the beginning of the movie when T and Nick are eating at the restaurant, T tells the waitress "For all you know I could be Denzel Washington, take a good look!". Later on in the movie the two villains are introduced Charlie and Davis.

Charlie who is played by Giancarlo Esposito, is one of the shooters and killers of Malcolm X played by Denzel Washington.

I thought this was real cool and maybe something did on purpose by the writers? Or do you think it was just a coincidence?

Probably intentional on purpose.
It's common for black guys to compare themselves to famous black guys.

Denzel
Sidney
The guy who played Shaft.
Samuel Jackson (the other Shaft)
etc.
