When Harry Tuttle (Robert De Niro) rescues Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce) from the Ministry of Information, as they escape through the lobby, the Security Police walk in unison down the stairs in a single rank firing their guns. Meanwhile, a vacuum cleaner rolls down the stairs ahead one step at a time. This is an homage to La corazzata Potemkin (1925), and the massacre by the Cossacks of the people on the Odessa steps, while a baby carriage rolled unharmed down the steps in the midst of the ensuing carnage.
