The saddest/most depressing part of this film?


When that kid calls Jack's house during the pool party trying to find his mom and no one knows who she is since they only know her stage "porno" name and not her real name.

Agreed, the '70's to '80's shift was sad. The only people who did better were Buck and Jessie. Hope Buck's store worked out.

I guess the beat up by a few guys scene should have bothered me but to me he did not seem that bad after.

The brain matter on the face thing was disgusting though. Yuck. Sucks 2 innocent guys had to die there, but maybe the one guy should not have pulled the gun.

I think Little Bill's death is the saddest part and the part where the painting of him is shown with that sad music playing. Too bad he couldn't just divorce his wife and move on with his life.

All the 80s scenes seemed pretty depressing to me.
