Denna intervju med filmens Costume Designer (Catherine George) indikerar de två tecknen; Franco den äldste och Franco den yngre var faktiskt bröder.
CoF: Was it your intention to make Franco the Elder and Franco the Younger (Vlad Ivanov and Adnan Haskovic?) look like the Guido brothers? I assume in his former life Franco the Elder was definitely an enforcer.
CG: Yes I imagine that he was some kind of enforcer or hit man. He certainly takes a long time to die. I had actually started looking at the images of assassins and brothers and looked at the Kray twins with their history of violence and their style. Director Bong really liked the idea of that violence and style coupled with love for his brother.

Suddenly, a spear flies in from out of nowhere and pierces Arabic Man’s chest. As he falls, another heavy spear flies through the air towards Curtis. At the last moment, Curtis deflects the spear with his axe blade.
Everyone turns and looks in the direction from which the spears came: the Franco Brothers.
