...innocent viewer would guess is that the people making the movie like making jokes about other movies; Smith does that, and so do too many other directors. Early on, there's a scene - even if you haven't seen the movie, you've seen the clip a dozen times - where Paul interrogates a suspect using tough-guy lines from other movies: Heat, Training Day, Jaws, Schindler's List, The Color Purple and finally Willis's own Die Hard.
