does anyone remember the reference to Max/Job from the first film?

I read an article that they reference the first film (and others) but I may have missed the reference to part one. Anyone remember it and when it occurred? Thanks.

Minor spoilers

Vanessa Kirby plays the White Widow, Max’s daughter who appears to have inherited the family business

The math doesn't really work out though - if the characters are the actors' ages, Max would had to have given birth in her fifties

Hmm has this been explained? Perhaps she was adopted? Good catch.

[–] ExTechOp (2737) 6 years ago

It's a nit-picky issue at best - Max could've been younger than Vanessa Redgrave and/or the White Widow could be older than Vanessa Kirby.

That reminds me, what was up with that kiss? Awkward.

Yeah, the white widow says that Max was her mother. Max was the arms dealer from the first film.

Have a short review of this movie if anyone is interested. If you feel there is something I could be doing better, I would definitely love to hear it. Review here - https://youtu.be/81bhKp0YR_M

I read this stuff during my free time at work. I personally prefer to read rather than watch a review but that's me. I am sure YouTube works for lot of people but not me in the office environment.
