Did Vincent ever pay off the Klane Brothers and Loan Sharks?


Julius mentions at the end that after they have payed off all of their debts they have exactly $12,800 or so dollars left, that probably includes Vincents parking tickets and bills accumulated during the movie etc.

But in the movie the Klane Brothers get taken out by Julius during the bar scene, Burt, Morris and Bob all get knocked out cold along with their cousins Sam and Dave, then on to New Mexico to meet their mom great right.

Now supposedly the Klane Brothers and Loan Sharks would have given up after the beating that Julius gave them, but in real life they still were owed $20,000 by Vincent plus interest and hospital bills, Loan Sharks dont forgive and forget and the twins only got off lucky because the Klane Brothers and cousins were all knocked out and seemingly left to get arrested in the bar after they woke up.

Surely the Klane boys would have all gone to the hospital and posted bail and visited the Benedict Corporation armed with guns and with more friends, unless Vincent and Julius paid them off, they only walked away from that because the Klanes were knocked out and they were gone by the time they got out of the hospital and jail, they still knew where Vincent lives and works and would be waiting for them to return home, and the police couldnt protect them all the time either.

I think they did pay off the loan sharks. Although Julius very much disagrees with the tactics of the Klane Brothers, he seems like a very fair person and would understand that Vincent needs to pay back the amount he owes.

I think they did pay off the brothers. The brothers were detestable sure, but they weren't trying to steal Vincent's money, they were just trying to get back the money they loaned him plus the vig.

Loan sharks are scum, but they do in fact loan money that no reputable lender will. This means a much higher interest rate and physical intervention to enforce the payback because there's no collateral.

I'm sure that when all was said and done, every dollar Vincent to owed was paid off.

The movie states they paid off their debts, so I assume so, yeah.

Julius (and Vincent to a much lesser degree) whooped their asses, but - as you stated - guys like that want their money and are unlikely to let it go. They get their money or your life.
