Joseph "Joey" Coyle (born 1953 in Philadelphia) was an unemployed longshoreman in Philadelphia who, in February 1981, found $1.2 million in the middle of the street after it had fallen out of the back of an armored car. His story was made into the movie Money for Nothing starring John Cusack and also a book written by Mark Bowden titled Finders Keepers: The Story of a Man Who Found $1 Million.
Joey struggled with a drug addiction for most of his adult life. He committed suicide by hanging himself in his basement on August 15, 1993. -------------------- In real life, Joey Coyle and the mobster did not force the car into water, but simply drove to New Jersey and abandoned it. Also, in real life, three people saw Coyle find and take the money, unlike in the movie where the movie Coyle does stop to check to see if anyone was around when he found the money and sees nobody (in fact in the movie a homeless boy saw him, but was hidden from view).
Joey Coyle was with two men, not one, when he found the money, and unlike in the film, did not stop to make sure that nobody saw him, so three people saw him find and take the money.
Though the time frame in the film seems undefined, in real life, Joey Coyle found the money on 26 February 1981 and was arrested on 4 March 1981.
Joey Coyle uses the alias Frankie Santos. In real life, a friend named Frank Santos took him to the airport to flee. (There was no Monica in real life.)
The memorable scene in the bathroom where Joey Coyle puts on pantyhose to hide the money in did happen, but Coyle changed his mind and removed the hose before boarding the plane.
There was no Vinnie in real life. However, Joey Coyle did meet with a mob employee named Masi, whose father did deliver items to Laurenzi's father's business.
Joey Coyle was a drug user in real life, and killed himself in 1993. Also, in real life, Coyle was fair haired and colored his hair dark, in reverse of the film.
Joey Coyle did not live with his brother in real life. However, he fall through a ceiling when trying to hide the money. Other scenes with basis in reality include the policeman asking to be locked in the van to test its strength.
没错 ICS上怎么就尽播烂片了
两个道理:1拾金不昧;2别有点钱就飘了
乔伊捡到120万的横财,虽然没能占为己有,但以短暂精神失常而无罪释放的结局也算完美……只是觉得乔伊洗钱的手段在笨拙,为什么不去印第安保留区的赌场洗钱?那里根本不受联邦法律约束,岂不更安全?
看着我紧张死了,金发激萌的库萨克
这么荒诞的故事居然是真事改编。
又在这里找到了以前看过的好片(主要是Cusack演的不错)就是结局都不记得了
也许是太囿于真实事件的白描,虽然对主角的心理过程有细腻刻画,但对横财带来的家人、邻居、朋友、黑帮的反映都只是点到为止,缺少鲜明的特色,本来可以是部很出色的黑色喜剧,却因为编剧不敢对素材进行大胆重塑而变成了一部平庸的犯罪事件还原电影。不过请库萨克演这种自大又脆弱的角色倒是再适合不过
不知道为什么,只要在ICS上放出的电影就说不出的低档的感觉……两星给库萨克算是我对他永远的支持吧
老嫩老嫩老嫩的呀!开头码头风云啊~~~~~~
要不是有库库我就打2星
在今日头条解说电影的公众号看的。
要我说是不是男主太笨?这种送上来的钱小心一点就能全部转移掉了,你要没那个胆儿,那就本份一点,老老实实给人送回去~约翰库萨克以前挺喜欢的,现在帅哥见得多了觉得路人了,片中年轻时是挺嫩的,但也不觉得帅
哈哈我看的好欢乐啊,各种地方藏钱,最后都穿上丝袜了爆笑啊哈哈哈。很多人说男主傻故事荒诞。我反倒觉得挺真实的,现实里不可思议的事多了,看看自己是不是也做过一些回忆起来纳闷为什么当时会那么做的事。普通人就是这样滴,很多赌博和中彩票的也一样钱都败光。别以为自己有多聪明。这部里福利好多好有趣哈哈,纹身是假的吧好像他没有。船戏拍的真不错,我以为没拍过,原来还是有的,一直挺想看的哈哈~
暴富莫露富,露富事事误。虽说是真人真事改编,整部电影透着快崩盘的黑色幽默,大伙都是喜剧人哪。除了男主头脑是真不行,库萨克的颜值还是嫩滴,一堆男配都是hot guys!
库萨克那时候好萌!片子看的纠结,处理的太差了~ 不过最后他们找到了真爱,也值了!

Philip Seymour Hoffman 那时还有个人样
这么傻的事居然还是真事改编
我也想捡到一大笔钱
根据正式事件改编,最后撒钱够浪漫,不过Joey的反应也挺现实,还往哪儿跑呢~John Cusack好嫩啊,就是这个片子拍的不太够吸引人。
