Director Jean-Luc Godard incorporated numerous references and quotations into BAND OF OUTSIDERS. As he explained in the December 1962 issue of "Cahiers du cinéma," "People in life quote as they please, so we have the right to quote as we please. Therefore, I show people quoting, merely making sure that they quote what pleases me." In this visual glossary, clips from the film are accompanied by explanations of the references they contain.
