Trying to move away from pop culture, which I despise in trivia comps...

I haven't seen that film in over a decade, but I didn't google it.

Now I wanna go watch it again. Chris walken and Dennis hopper's interrogation scene is an all-time classic.
Can I have one of those Chesterfields now?

OK, here's some a trivia question for all you aged Gen-X bastards:

Is "Boyle" a Sicilian name?

It is. It's not so much that which bothers me, it's that I can imagine Tarantino writing the script, turning to Tony Scott, and saying, "Hey, guess what I'm gonna do?"

And Tony says, "What?"

"I'm gonna give the Italian Mafia lawyer a Mick name!"

"Mick?"

"Yeah, I'm trying to get inside this guys head, and that's what he'd call 'em."

"That's awesome! So awesome!"

"I know, it's just so cool to do random shit like this!"

"You're a freakin' genius!"

And they then take a ten minute break to snort coke of each other's erect penises. Again.

If I'm thinking of the same music you are, and I'm not mistaken, that music is also in Badlands. Little hommage Smile

Yah, but if you watch the clip you posted again, Boog, Ol' Blue specifically states his father was Sicilian. Within the first 30 seconds, in fact.

It's key, his being Sicilian.

One assumes his father is half Sicilian? I bet there's some good backstory with that, whether Hopper's invention or QT 's.

Could be that Boyle was a corruption of Boglio or something, and got changed to Boyle at Ellis Island or somewhere else along the line.
