Did the way Jensen was murdered bother anyone else?


The Khamel guy just grabs a rope and strangles the guy even though it's clear the are several people sitting behind him who would have seen it?

You hit one of my small irritations with this movie. That was the poorest example of a stealth murder I had seen in a long time. There is enough light from the screen of a theater to illuminate that kind of movement. Also,dumb and totally irrelevant to the storyline that the judge went to porn movies. (Except as the cheap device to show how some people in power are hypocrites)

And is it even possible to snap someone's neck with a rope? I mean, when they used to hang people they had their whole weight thrown into the equation. The guy barely moved his hands.

reply

He didn't snap the judge's neck. He strangled him. (Cut off the air to his windpipe.)

Watch it again. He killed him with one quick powerful yank of the rope. Snap! A guy who knows what he's doing can kill someone just like that.

reply

Yeah, you just make sure the rope goes under the greater trochanter process, apply 37 foot-pounds of pressure within 0.3 seconds, and voila!

Oops, I think I may have said too much.

It was dark and noisy and no one at a PORNO theater is paying attention to what the rest of the audience is doing.

honestly speaking, you'd be surprised how oblivious the average person is.


no duh since you're watching the movie you are watching intently and following everything and can't see how anyone would miss it, but that's really not true.

OK, I must say that I hope beauedson was just joking with this last post. If not, you're really, really ignorant. Go back to Mississippi and kick your dog.

Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was did the scene in the porn theater make anyone else kind of horny? I'm a straight, married female and I still get kind of horny watching that scene. Weird, but true...

No one would notice that quick of a kill while porn is on in the movie theater. The difference between that one and the one near the carnival was that it was out in the open and the gun was loud. When Khamel killed Jensen, Jensen didn't even make a sound or scream for help.

Yes, a little bit; I think it was the prolonged heavy breathing (coming from what one could assume were some attractive males) and the music.
