DAPPER DAN

Just watched this again, and realized that Everett's real problem is that he wont change, and this is showed by him using his dapper dan hair jelly. the smell it gives off is the reason they keep getting caught, all of the evil people chasing them get the scent of the hair jelly, lol it is great!! Finally, at the end, the cans are all washed (or worshed lol) away.

Good call. Odysseus' flaw was his hubris, or pride.

So, Everett is vain about his hair and carries delusions of eloquence and intelligence, classic stuff.

"Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
"I'm the locksmith... and I'm the locksmith."

It is an excellent call. But... Achilles is known for his hubris, not Odysseus.

[–] Can_a_bitch_get_a_donut 12 years ago

So was Odysseus, which is relevant, considering The Odyssey is the source material for this movie.

There are so many people (not this post obviously), that ask questions that would simply be answered if the knew and or have read The Odyssey

^^my favorite line in the movie...LMAO...George's delivery is priceless.

"I don't want Fop, Goddammit! I'm a Dapper Dan man!"

if you want Fop I can get it for you. be here in a couple of weeks.

[–] akshay1188 12 years ago

Nicely spotted. :)

Indeed Dapper Dan is symbolic of Ulysses' pride

[–] doug65oh 12 years ago

Fop is also relevant here, as it refers to "a foolish or silly person" or to "a man who is devoted to or vain about his appearance or dress."
