As Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Gates (Lyle Lovett) watch a movie in the hotel room with their prisoner, Gates makes a reference to John Wayne and Dean Martin appearing in Western together. Wayne and Martin appeared in two Westerns together, Rio Bravo (1959) and The Sons of Katie Elder (1965); The Sons of Katie Elder was remade as a modern day urban gang movie Four Brothers (2005), which starred Mark Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg's brother, in the John Wayne role as the eldest brother.
