Opening Sequence
The opening sequence features the two brothers preparing to blow up a safe as the theme music is sung. Unfortunately for them, the explosion propels the safe through the ceiling and, in the confusion, they both run out of what is revealed to be an upper-storey window.
Having fallen to the ground, they enter their van and prepare to drive off. Victor, laughing, tells Hugo "You know Hugo, it will be alright this time. Nothing can go wrong!" Hugo responds "Yes Victor, I know!" and begins to drive. At this point, the van falls to pieces and the brothers escape that disaster only to find their way blocked by police cars. They turn around and are immediately hit by the falling safe, the door of which falls off to reveal Hugo making his alternative suggestion of the title - "Hugo and Victor. That's what I think, anyway.".

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or sequence:
“The Heavens. Once an object of superstition, awe and fear. Now a vast region for growing knowledge. The distance of Venus, the atmosphere of Mars, the size of Jupiter, and the speed of Mercury. All this and more we know. But their greatest mystery the heavens have kept a secret. What sort of life, if any, inhabits these other planets? Human life, like ours? Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher.”
—Richard Blake, and William Cameron Menzies. Narrator, Invaders from Mars, at the opening of the movie (1953)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
