Believe it or not, "Dog Day Afternoon" was based on a true story. As was "Serpico."

Shayamalan never saw the movie "Sea of Love", NYPD Cops poised as Yankees ppl and invited hundreds of felons (always dudes lol) to meet ball players. I remember the 1980s, we had no internet and lots of ppl believed in bogus phonecalls & mail.
