There's similar motifs in other films. The original Scarface had the appearance of "X" shapes before a character (or characters) got the works. Scorsese lifted this for The Departed (and just as cleverly implemented).

Do you know why Hawks did this? Whenever there was a gangland murder in the newspapers they'd mark the spots where the dead lay with an X in the photo.

I know this is from a few pages back, but I'm pretty sure Billy Jack (which predates Jaws by four years) was actually the first film to be rolled out simultaneously nationwide,


It wasn't released nationwide. It was released in more theatres than any other movie at that time, but in one market.
