Don't really care what side the lever or cable housing is on, just that he is riding with a back brake only... which no matter if he is riding SS or fixed, it's still pretty dumb considering there isn't a front brake.
Nope. I got your point and skipped right to the real point. It's a MOVIE. They want it to look brakeless I'm sure but artistic license and stuntmen demand they run a rear brake. There may be a scene where he has to have perfect timing in doing a skid and avoiding a car and to blow the shot costs big money. So they add a brake.
Ease up on the throttle dude.
