    Actually watching it right now, inspired the joke. I mean the racial slur and subsequent homophobia did make me go "yep, that's Boston".

        My reading was that the erectile dysfunction, him being closed off and stuff was hinting at his conscience eating at him, since it the Hong Kong version that character is revealed to had second thoughts and turned himself in at the end. It just came from nowhere there since there was no buildup. The funny part is that in this one there was a seeming build up, but the guilty conscience thing doesn't enter at all in the end.
