Jim’s Naked Indian Friend


Early in the movie when Jim first meets Pam and they are walking past some bums burning a fire in a trash can, one of the guys looks like the naked dude in the hallway during Jim’s death. Has anyone else noticed this?

reply

Well they are both bald, but it's hard to tell if they are both the same guy because in the final scene, it's very dark and you don't see his face for more that a second or two.

Good observation.

Um, I thought it was rather obvious that the bald Indian was supposed to be his recurring death "companion" throughout the movie. He shows up several times, even at the birthday party when I recall it correctly.

I think he's one of the Indian ghosts from the highway wreck Jim witnessed as a small boy traveling through Arizona or New Mexico or wherever it was.
