...Benicio del Toro’s ethnicity as a handicap or a hurdle, and three shots every time he calls him Samoan. 3. Negative two shots every time a character vomits—it’s only fair. 4. Rejoice and drink when Gary Busey appears as a cop and asks Johnny Depp to smooch. Seriously, it happens. 5. Take a drink every time somebody smokes. 6. Pysch! Number 5 would be way too loco.
