one thing that always bothered mewas why did the bosses put a hit out on bronson?
the boat hit was a setupthe organization was miffed he did a sloppy hit on the drug dealers/took on vincent as an apprentice
so why the elaborate ruse to get bronson to Italy, do a hit on a boat as a setup, and kill him on the boat
with vincent and bronson geared up for a hit, this seems like an elaborate yet public way to eliminate him.for an organization that would normally want to keep a low profile. to complicate matters, they have a ton of people after the boat hit chasing him down on the road. very sloppy and public.
if they can get him on a private plane, limousine, onto a private estate with a cheetahwhy not just pop a few bullets in him and acid bath. or whatever.
cool movie, but this always bothered me.
