Chili gets his coat back from Ray by knocking on Ray's door, punching him in the face and retrieving the coat, walking out without a word.
- Momo’s heart attack is a perfect example why surprise birthday parties for aging mob bosses isn't a good idea...
- When Ray Bones takes over Chili's books, he goes to the barber shop with a Scary Black Man as a bodyguard to make sure Chili doesn't try to kill him (again). As Ray goes back into Chili's office, Chili tries to talk some sense to the bodyguard.Chili: C'mon man you can do better than him.
Bodyguard: Not these days, not unless you can speak Spanish...- Followed up with an argument between Ray and Chili over the use of e.g (for example) and i.e (in other words) during which Ray's own bodyguard sides with Chili.
- When Chili first shows up in L.A., he's annoyed by the fact that the car rental place gave him an Oldsmobile Silhouette for a car. By the end of the film - thanks in part to Weir - said Silhouette has become the hot car of the season.
- Ray Bones has just beaten up Harry Zimm and just shot Bo's fellow gangster Ronnie, so he needs to stage the room so he doesn't get blamed for the murder by putting his gun into Harry's hand so the police would think Harry shot the thug in "self-defense". While Ray tries to explain to Harry what he needs to do, Harry weakly raises the gun up into Ray's crotch in a Taking You with Me moment. Ray rather calmly pushes Harry's hand away with a calm, almost paternal-sounding "Come on, Harry, knock it off; we don't have a lot of time, here." Also counts as an Awesome moment for both characters.
- Also the gleeful way Ray shoots the idiot limo gangster, who tried to bluff his way out of a gun fight because the gangster's gun was still in his pants while Ray was already aiming at him with his gun. Just look at Dennis Farina's smile!
- Weir - trying to act like Chili Palmer to get into a role that Chili's basing on himself - gets confused by how everyone calls Chili "A shylock" (nickname for "loan shark") and instead begins acting like The Shylock from The Merchant of Venice
- When Harvey Keitel shows up at the end playing Ray Bones in the Film Within a Film, he has the crooked nose and tiny bald strip on top of his scalp from where Chili punched the real Ray in the face and grazed him with a bullet near the beginning. Clearly, both those moments made it into the screenplay.
