Nine Queens - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Juan's Whistle
Throughout the film, Juan asks about a catchy tune ('Il Ballo del Mattone' by Rita Pavone). At the very end, he is seen whistling this exact tune, signaling his victory and the fact that he was 'directing' the events the whole time.
The Toilet Scam
The scam involving the old man (Sandler) collapsing in the bathroom was inspired by a real-life con that director Fabián Bielinsky's uncle fell victim to.
The 'Bank Run' Extras
The scene where the bank closes its doors and people protest outside features extras who look genuinely distressed. This scene unintentionally previewed the real 'Corralito' protests that would happen in Argentina months later.
