Can't You Hear Me Knocking" by The Rolling Stones is a song where the iconic jam at the end was not intentionally planned; it essentially "happened by accident" during the recording session, with the band spontaneously continuing to play even when they thought the take was over, resulting in a powerful, unplanned musical moment.

3. I always think of the scene where Sharon Stone is led out down those stairs hollering and struggling.

She won an Academy award for it, didn’t she? I may have to watch it again. I remember it being pretty brutal and violent. Maybe it won’t be so bad compared to Game of Thrones and some newer gorier ones.

5. Yes, it is. Brings the '60s and '70s Las Vegas to life. I used to go there frequently.

Some of the scenes were really nostalgic (from the customer side that is).

Who expected a gangster film to have Saint Matthew Passion by Bach?



Monty Python said it:

NOBODY expects the Saint Matthew Passion.



Nor an exploding auto.
