The film bears a resemblance to an unusual real life bank robbery which occurred on August 28, 2003 in Erie, Pennsylvania, where pizza delivery man Brian Wells was killed when a bomb fastened to his neck detonated as he was approached by police. Despite the similarities to the case, the cast and filmmakers claim to have had no prior knowledge of the incident, with the exception of the screenwriters who were vaguely aware of it.

Brian Douglas Wells (November 15, 1956 – August 28, 2003) was an American pizza delivery man who was killed by a time bomb fastened to his neck, purportedly under coercion from the maker of the bomb. After he was apprehended by the police for robbing a bank, the bomb exploded. The bizarre affair was subject to much attention in the mass media.

I clearly remember it. I thought there was a thread on here about it. Or maybe it was another forum.. or facebook. It's hard to keep things straight these days.

But yeah, I wonder what that poor guy's family thinks about this new comedy.

I remember it. I don't think they ever found a suspect.

They found random ass clues telling him to do things -- but no evidence that someone actually kidnapped him, placed a bomb on his neck and gave him the letters / clues of what to do.

I stand corrected, looks like they figured out what happened. Check him out on WikiPedia. He planned a robbery with some "friends," the friends turned on him and strapped the bomb to his neck (it was supposed to be fake) and set it to explode, presumably so they would get the cash from the robbery and he couldn't talk about it. I wouldn't call him a "poor guy," after-all he did conspire to rob a bank with a bomb and shotgun -- and it ended up turning bad for him. Unfortunate, but I don't feel too bad.

If anything, he sounds more like a patsy:

A note found on Wells had instructions for him to carry out four tasks—the first of which was the bank robbery—in a set period of time before the bomb went off. Wells would gain extra time with the completion of each task. However, it was later determined that regardless of what had unfolded, Wells would never have had enough time to complete the tasks to get the bomb defused.[9]

Wells was drawn into the plot through Barnes, whom he knew through a prostitute, Jessica Hoopsick, who often used Barnes' home as a place to have sex with customers.[9] The plot was hatched to get funds to pay Barnes enough money to kill Diehl-Armstrong's father, so Diehl-Armstrong could get an inheritance, authorities said. However, Wells had stolen only $8,702, far from the $125,000 needed for the killing.[citation needed] Furthermore, the inheritance Diehl-Armstrong coveted was largely spent.

And the original story sounds like it'd be an awesome Tarantino or Ritchie movie.
