Fedora in "Patriot Games"

I saw Patriot games this evening and noticed some small funny things.
Jack/Harrison walks into an Irish bar to have a talk with Paddy O'Niel. "Patriot's club" is written on the window.

When he leaves the bar a small guy with a fedora can be seen turning his head. I don't recall a fedora was a typical irish hat in the 90's :-) maybe a gearhead was trying to get Harrison's autograph in the barscene.

It looks so strange because everybody else is wearing something like this in this scene.

The name "Patriot" is also written on the file Harrison is given when he join the CIA.

Ace,
I also noticed that when I watched that movie the other day.the fedora caught my attention cause it seemed really out of place in that bar.
Best Regards,
Joe

Too funny. It could've been a little "in joke" for Harrison, or sometimes extras will do things to get themselves noticed, a little gesture or piece of clothing, so it may be that as well.

Very observant Ace, I have seen PG many times and did not notice any of those points. I will watch it a little more closely next time.

Thanks

I think it might be an in-joke for Harrison as well but also for the audience. He's the only guy wearing a fed and he's right in the middle of the picture, even in focus. I don't think he is there by chance.

Quick...who finds the fed in "Clear and present danger" first :D

Regards
Ace
