Quest Pistols # 12








Connect/Give funda.

Answer

The connect/funda is Glasgow Smile.

A Glasgow smile is a nickname for the practice of cutting a victim's face from the edges of the mouth to the ears. The cut – and the scars it leaves – form an "extension" of what resembles a smile. The practice originated in the Scottish city of Glasgow,which gave it its name.

The top image is that of The Joker from the movie "The Dark Knight".The bottom image is that of Tadanobu Asano who played Kashikara in the well known Japanese shock film "Ichi The Killer".Both the characters had a Glasgow Smile in the movies.
