in The Shawshank Redemption - how much is the rock hammer at any rock and gem shop ? how much did Red charge Andy for getting it ? Another thing they don't explain. it's 1948. how does Andy get the money to pay for it? they make pennies a day, so how does he get that much so soon ? same as the cigarettes i mentioned a few weeks ago.
$7 in any rock and gem shop; Red charged $10. I don't know how the money/cash system works in prison so you can barter with inmates, guards, or purchase convenience items in the commissary (if they even had those back in 1948).
true axe but red said "it was a month before Andy spoke to someone and that someone was me." so how is Andy getting $10, which is a ton of money in prison, after only 1 month in 1948, when he stayed by himself and didn't talk to anyone ? he had nothing to barter with bc he was new. and Red gave Brooks a pack of cigarettes for taking the rock hammer 10 feet to Andy. Seems a bit high of a price for that gesture.
In Bull Durham, what was the Bulls record when the manager has his bat throwing tirade in the locker room?
In the story Stephen King wrote it's explained that Andy brought around $500 into the prison with him. "He brought in five hundred dollars jammed up his back porch" is the exact quote. Never touched on in the movie.
