You have to be kidding me ( semi-spoiler )


I can't believe the amount of positive reviews this film receives on IMDb! I thought it would be on the bottom 100. I caught this on cable not long ago, and as friends stopped by, we got hooked on how bad it was.

Best scenes is when Charlie Sheen feels remorse for dead Asian 7-11 lady, and the end of the film when his character basically says, "no more" and walks away... slowing taking off his 'biker ware' leather coat, shirt, bandanna, fingerless gloves, necklace... and walks into the desert wearing only his boots and leather pants as the credits roll.

I wish I could find that scene alone on YouTube for a chuckle.

The scene of the asian getting killed is a very important part in the movie. It is the turning point in Charlie Sheen's character. It seemed that he started to get sucked into the whole biker gang and a part of him enjoyed associating with them. Blood saved his life and they formed a friendship, regardless of Blood's criminal activity. When the girl gets killed, it's a turning point becuase he realizes that none of them are his friends, and that they are all scum bags, including Blood. That point in the movie makes Sheen's character come back to reality that he has to bring them all down, especially Blood.


THANK YOU

I understand the reason WHY the scene is in the movie. I just find it awful, even funny in a bad way, the way it was handled, and Charlie's Sheen's acting during the traumatic 'flashbacks'.

I can't get past Charlie Sheen being a tough guy. I know some less than law abiding bikers, Charlie wouldn't last ten seconds with any of them.

even the not so law abiding bikers are good people to people who are good to them.. the angels ( omg terrists on 2 wheels) run toys for tots every x-mas.. just piss them off .. but aint the rules for life? its a thing i call respect and this society lacks..id rather have any club as friends than C.E.O. of any corperation..

hahahahaha its so funny how bad it is. i actually just laughed out loud thinking about the scene where he walks off into the desert towards nothing slowly taking off his clothes hahaha. o and the scene at the end when he gets introduced as the undercover cop and that one dushbag stands up and begins to slow clap hahahahahaha (actual laughter)

He's an actor. Do you think Tobey Maguire can use spiderwebs to swing off buildings??? Or that Tom Hanks knows anything about being a soldier?

sheesh.

Cinamatogrophy - think about this .. you laugh at the final scene when he walks off intot he desert .. the scene that for the first time since he was a child his SHADOW is attached to him and he is a whole person once again ... in the LIGHT .. out of the darkness .. the final scene when we find out that Sid is gone and Danny is back ..

there is a scene not long before that where inthe dark room we are shown a picture of him with his sghadow disconnected . and yet the final scene clearly shows his shadow where it is ment to be


guess the concept of spirituality and self awareness is just a bit too much for some people .. sad i mourn the loss of your ID (that ID as in the inner self not Identification ) .. it died a horribly lonely death im sure ...

That was awesome. I love it when pseudo-intellectual movie snobs get b!@#ch slapped like that. I have to agree. We all caught those little "subtleties" that the elitists think they're the only ones to catch. And most of us are also familiar with that quack Freud.
