In the hands on the clocks, cuts, bloodstains, books. You probably caught all of that the first time you saw it. so lets take it down a level.. Theres Eveys name: E is the fifth letter of the alphabet, V is the fifth letter if youre counting backward and Y is the 25th letter (five squared).

Vs favorite phrase is By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe, which translates into Latin as Vi veri veniversum vivus vici, or five goddamned words that all begin with V. Finally, in what is perhaps the most mind-blowing detail of all, one of the films major characters is actually named V..... ..... ..... ..... .....
