Why didn't Warirck have scars?


When we see Warrick's bare chest he has no scars? We see him slicing himself up earlier in that 8mm film. I don't think THAT was fake. I think he was crazy enough to actually cut himself with a real knife.

But there would have been scars of some kind left over from that wouldn't there?

I think the writer's intention was that the wounds were fake. If he'd fake the wounds on the victims, he'd also fake the wounds on himself.

Yes, it was all fake....that's why he had the makeup kit. All the wounds were fake on him and on the other guy.

reply

The cuts in the film were fake. I seem to recall him saying something like "This is some of my best work."

reply

The actual line is (41:37)
"I did my own hair and makeup"
Considering we later see he has a makeup kit, it's clear he faked the cuts

reply

And the theatrical knives with fake blades also indicates it was faked. It was a bit of a give away when we see him open his shirt and there are no scars.
