The scene when Angel comes into Sandford on horseback is also chock-full of Western references. Not only does he ask the kids whether they want to do something useful a line taken from Clint Eastwoods Man With No Name in1964 classic A Fistful Of Dollars he also chews a toothpick like Clint in the Outlaw Josey Wales and his strut into town on horseback punctuated by shocked villager faces is reminiscent of 1952s High Noon. The Western reference trifecta is completed when Jim Broadbent says Angel in the same way Eli Wallachs Tuco refers to Lee Van Cleefs Angel Eyes in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, leading us into some shootout-like tension before all hell well and truly breaks loose.
