Booby Traps


Love this movie. It's one of my favorites, but that scene where Rusty goes to steal Basher out of police custody always bothers me. He approaches the officer that has Basher and starts by telling him booby traps aren't Basher's style. Then, a few seconds later he asks if the officer checked Basher for booby traps on his person, lol. So he basically contradicts himself. I'm not sure if this was intentional to be funny or if it was a mistake while filming. You can tell the scene is cut into several takes, so maybe it was just an editing mistake that they never noticed.

Rusty is just flooding the poor cop with BS to confuse him.

Exactly this. Chatting BS, mis-direction, perception is reality. The cop is so bamboozled and embarrassed by that point that when Rusty asks him to find "Griggs" that he sheepishly leaves despite not having a clue who he is.
