Missing death scene of Numbers?

When I saw this film in theaters, I could have sworn Mumbles dies. When Big Boy ditches the car, I seem to recall Numbers screams "Big Boy!" as seen, and the car comes out of the garage, goes a short distance, and is literally destroyed in a hail of gunfire, killing Numbers.

Never seen that happen in any of the releases, the last we see of him is after he screams "Big Boy!" But I could swear when the cops swarm in through the garage, none of the cars are inside.

Does anyone else remember this scene, or have I completely created this scene solely from bad memory (It has been awhile since this has been in theaters.)

I love to love my Lisa.

He does die. He is alone in side the black car that exits the garage last. You can see him breaking the back window of the car and getting shot down by Dick Tracy.

That's Itchy. He breaks the back window and fires at Tracy, then Flattop tries and fails also.

Numbers doesn't die. The car never leaves the garage. He's behind the wheel, but Big Boy bails with Tess, leaving Numbers behind. He never drives out and so we can assume he wasn't hurt and just got arrested.

I mean, really, how many times will you look under Jabba's manboobs?
