** During Sol's "FUCK YOU!" speech, there's a cannibal that looks like one of the Baseball Furies.

* When in front of Kane, Sinclair is hit twice by one of his mooks. She casually ignores the beating, but then gives a stare to the mook and coldly declares to kill him if he touches her ever again.

* The film has [[Film/PulpFiction the Gimp]]
