>I don't sit in while you're running it down. I don't carry a gun. I drive.

Nothing.

Refn just being a dumdum as usual.

it was a nod to MC Hammer

It just looks cool, man.

he has a small penis and the hammer's phallic shape is comforting to him on a subconscious level.

philosophizing with a hammer

He's a mechanic so he probably had one lying around

mechanics don't use hammers, they should have given him a wrench or a tire iron or something

Refn was foreshadowing to a deleted scene where Ryan Gosling jackhammers all of the topless strippers back stage until they bleed.

The hammer is the traditional weapon of the paladin. Crusaders used to use blunt weapons since edged weapons were considered sinful.

At the same time, the Jewish villain uses a carefully treated razor like a chalef knife, used in Jewish ritual slaughter (for kosher meat). The character is also depicted in front of a star of David, subliminally emphasizing the religious overtones.

why would they need to subliminally embed a star of david when the villains of the movie are clearly jewish?

>>79899542
exactly, ball peen. not carpenter hammers.

>>79900384
To emphasize the fact that they are Jewish.
