I always love when their are movie references in other movies and TV shows. Some I learn about from imdb and others I recognize on my own.
I wanted people's opinions on a possible reference to The Godfather Part 2 in The Dark Knight. In The Dark Knight, there is a courtroom scene with Harvey Dent. He is questioning one of Carmine Falcone's men. And the man says something like "Falcone! He's nothing/a clown, I'm the brains of the organization." In Godfather 2, during the congressional hearing or whatever it was, Willi Cicci is asked about Michael Corelone being the Don or being called The Godfather and Cicci says something like "Corelone is just a soldier, im the brains of the organization" and it gets some laughs from the crowd ("audience") of people sitting and watching the hearing.
I need to go back and look at both DVDs to hear the exact wording of these quotes. But I remember them being very similar.
I'm wondering if this was an intentional reference or I am just seeing/hearing what I want to hear
Anyway, I am interested in other people's thoughts on this.
