Just Saw it For The First Time; What Happened To Lee?

Tarantino is my favorite director and this was his last movie that I need to see.
I enjoyed it more than I thought I would! I'd say it's still his weakest movie but I don't think it was bad at all.
The first half dragged for me because I found all of the characters to be so unlikeable, but I loved the second half.
Only problem I have is not finding out what happened to Lee. It was kind of a d__k move by her friends to leave her with that guy AND tell him she's a porn star.. and then we never see her again. I would've liked to see her story have a conclusion as well. I get that it was just a throwaway character, but I cared about her more than I should because I love Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

MEW is still 'paying' off the guy as a sex slave after the other girls stiffed her on the bill....😜

I saw the film for the second time recently. On second viewing, at the end, I was thinking 'How will Zoe and co. explain the wrecked car to the farmer?' After that I realised that we never saw Lee again after she was left at the farm. Then a day later I realised, 'Zoe, Abby and Kim will likely be thrown in prison and sentenced to life for murder since they stomped Stuntman Mike to death. (It wasn't really self defense as he had retreated after being shot - they then went and pursued him.)

Bottom line: it is a fantasy exploitation pastiche that is not meant to make sense or be analysed.

This a grindhouse style movie, like the b movies at the old drive ins back in the day..youre not supposed to think that deeply into it and add an explantion that wasnt anything other than what you saw in the movie. However you could say that stuntman mike was a serial murderer and the girls would get off.

The girls are on the run after the police found Stuntman Mike and the wrecked car. The cheerleader outfit was put to very good use by Farmer Brian's newest sex slave, and Farmer Brian said he'll upgrade her to wife as soon as the car is paid off. Stuntman Mike is still alive, but now he can only sing the refrain to "Creep" by Stone Temple Pilots and thinks he is a bicycle messenger from New York city who works for a top secret organization while plotting his escape from the home for the criminally Insane the sheriff managed to get him thrown into.
