Dillinger Theater

The **Dillinger Theater**is a movie theater in Syndicate City, appearing as a location in *Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2*, serving as a major part of the second stage.

## Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2

The Dillinger Theater is a cinema controlled and presumably owned by the Dark Don Gang and/or members of mob families allied with them. The theater consists of three major rooms. On the far right is the bathroom plastered with white tiles and yellow wallpaper, which has a number of stalls and urinals on the wall facing and to the right of the door, respectively. The roof of the washroom appears to be in poor condition and collapsed completely when a Wrench Gangster broke through it when he jumped out the window of an adjacent building while trying to reach Vinnie Cannoli during a shootout. While the gangster jumped to his death, Vinnie enters soon after relatively unscathed, just as a Bouncer finished using one of the stalls, strangely accompanied by a Pistol Gangster. The urinals are broken into pieces, either thanks to the bullish charge of a Bouncer or Vinnie's reckless use of weaponry.

A small red-lined corridor with a clock and a staff door leads to the entrance lobby, which is lined with a red patterned carpet and features a chandelier, 8 white marble pillars holding the two separate platforms on first floor and two grand staircases, with a Molotov Gangsters stood atop each, leading to said floor, the one on the left of the screen leading to a projection room with a Tommy Gun Gangster. Both rooms have a large number of posters on the walls, supposedly advertising films. The entrance doors can be seen, reading "Dillinger Theater" above them.

Vinnie then enters the auditorium, where it turns out, that the entrance he used led to the upper floor of the hall. He jumps down to the regular seats where he comes under fire and blunt force of nearby mobsters, both on the ground and from above, attacking from the special seats. A Molotov-lobbing gangster stands in front of the screen and upon his death, when Vinnie turns around to leave the screening, SCMP members, armed with batons suddenly charge into the auditorium from the ground floor and balcony. They don't even reach the front stage as a car, driven by gang members, also bursts through the ground entrance, running over the incoming cops before crashing into the stage and exploding. A second car follows, but instead of crashing, it flips over the stage and tears a hole through the screen before also exploding. The hole exposes the storage area, where Vinnie escapes from the theater and into another building where he finally finds a phone, calls his friend Joe, who gives him directions where to meet him and then heads to the outskirts of town to the Old Airfield, now having to cross a district with an ongoing police raid.

## Trivia

* The Dillinger Theater is based on the Biograph Theater, where infamous mobster John Dillinger, the cinema's namesak, was shot dead by FBI agents after watching a gangster movie.
* Most of the "movie” posters, as the ones in the entrance hall are supposed to be, are, upon closer inspection, American WW2 propaganda posters, urging citizens to support or join the military, especially the Navy, with images of Uncle Sam, attractive women and threatening Nazi soldiers. One movie poster advertises with the cover of an unnamed movie, known behind the scenes as *Hell bent for Whiskey*, a short film created by the developers of GG&C in 2004. Snippets of the film are also seen during the screening of the movie in the auditorium.
* If you somehow manage to climb up the building topside the Dillinger Theater, you will eventually find a dead end with a large green sign chastising you for not sticking to the railroaded path, reading "Unless you're Santa Claus, YOU SHOULD NOT BE ON THIS FREAKING ROOF!" A Panzerschreck also spawns close to the sign.
* After Exiting the Dillinger Theater, (back Alley) Using the Panzerschreck to boost you up to the roof of the Dillinger Theater and then moving left will cause a softlock as the screen snaps back to the location of the green sign.
