Was this movie based on the real life events of Brian Wells???


I don't know why, but this movie is very very similar to the real life case of Brian Wells in 2003. (research it) if u can. I honestly think the film makers knew about it, made a real life tragedy and painted it into a comedy. What do you think?

although they claimed it wasn't it clearly is.


except in the real story.


The person who wanted to money was a women and the bomb did go off killing The pizza man. The pizza man may have also been in on the deal, the entire time.

From what I've heard about that story he was in on it too. I can't remember if the explosion was by accident or if they did it on purpose Though.

not quite like that.


In the real story:

Brain wells was a high school drop out who had spent many years hasa pizza delivery man.

He ould later be killed when a device strapped to his neck detonated before police could defuse it.

He claimed that he was being forced to rob a bank and commit various other crimes for more time on the bomb. Investigations revelaed that he may have been in on it the entire time.

A woman whose farther had squandered away his money wanted him dead to collect life insurance. She was going to use the money from the bank robbery to pay for the hit on her father.

Brian wells was going to claim that he had been called out ona late night delivery and was attacked by several african american males. That they wore mask and attached the device-That was going to be his story to the police.

Police think that wells thought the device would be fake and only realized that it was real after it had been attached to him.

Too many bizarre similarities to not have influenced the story. Of course it's standard procedure for film makers to claim "the characters in this film are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental."

reply

I refuse to watch this movie because they obviously ripped off the real life story to make a comedy out of something horrific. not funny to me and i like the actors in this, so it is too bad....

reply

well, if the pizza guy was indeed in on it, then it is kind of a comedy even in real life.
