At the end, when the little girl pulls the trigger (the gun isn't loaded) aiming at Louie, there is that cool slow-mo moment where he stumbles as if being hit by a ghost bullet. What do you make of it??
Ps. I really like that scene....
I'm so broke I can't even pay attention -
I think it's a nice way to show she is concerned with what happenned to Ghost Dog, and also a giveaway, together with the final scene when she is reading that Samurai book, that she may become Ghost Dog's successor.
shareI dont think so...he just stumbled due to his injuries from earlier in the movie.
Its Alright boys, he cheated me fair and square.

Jim Jarmusch works his artistic intent in the subtle details. The fact Louie stumbles the same time the 'ghost bullet' hits him is not coincidence. It doesn't mean he felt the pain of an actual bullet, as is clearly seen when he enters the car. I also think that it was a way to hint a later establishment of her as his successor.
