Caught some of “Once Upon a Time in Mexico” the other night, where Depp (playing as a federal agent) says “You savvy?” to Antonio Banderas character.
Made me wonder if Depp brought that phrase from Pirates, as both had 2003 release dates. Which was filmed first? idk.
That phrase is a very old popular saying. It was in common use years and years ago. Not sure either took it from the other.
