I think you may have stumbled upon a very dangerous subject here. Bottle Rocket happens to be my favorite movie ever. Just last night a friend of mine and I made complete fools of ourselves in a coffee shop ( one of those snooty Cambridge ones, for those of you concerned with that sort of thing out there) discussing the true intricacies of the characters of Anthony and Dignan. You may be on to something here, but I thought that Bottle Rocket was such an incredibly original thing that any similarities are coincidental.
