20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Wolf Of Wall Street

4. Gooble Gobble!

The Wolf of Wall Street
Paramount

When Jordan and Donnie are talking about hiring dwarves for entertainment, they become concerned about the possibility they might get sued if the dwarves get hurt.

Jordan tells his employees to treat the dwarves as one of their own, which inspires everyone in the room to chant, "One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble". This is as direct quote from the 1932 film, Freaks, where many of the main characters have dwarfism.

However, there is another connection to that horror flick which most people miss. In Freaks, Olga Baclanova portrays the trapeze artist, Cleopatra. In 1929, Baclanova was in a film which revolves around a heartless stockbroker that bankrupts his friends while living off get-rich-quick schemes.

And what was the film called? The Wolf of Wall Street.
