Did Jugs say she was only 23?


I was only fast-forwarding through this movie to see Raquel in all her glory (and I was disappointed). But at one point, doesn't she say that she's only 23? I mean, she is fine as hell, but 23? No way. She was 36 when she made this movie, and looking great, but not looking 23.





I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I didn't watch the whole movie (SPOILERS) but the only character I saw refer to his age was the guy who rode with Cosby until he was shot by the crazy patient. He said something like I'm 23 years old, and I never meet any women except for .... or something like that.

Yes, that was Leroy (Bruce Davidson) that said he was 25 years old and something like $6.25 to his name. He was shot by the addict wielding a shotgun played by Toni Basil.

Yeah, when Cosby says that thing about "if I was twenty years younger", she says that she would be 3.


Sit, Ubu, sit.

Yeah, I thought that was silly too. Not that she didn't look great, she always does, even now. But she didn't look 23.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I got the impression that all women lied about their age, like it was expected. The dating scene and divorce scene were huge and it was all about the singles bars. Younger is better. Maybe she was trying to be funny. Mom always said she was 29 or 22, but obviously wasn't. She wasn't expecting anyone to believe her. It's a nice way of saying my age is none of your business.

So what? The actor and his/her character don't have to be of the same age. It's all acting and make believe. Just like the age of a fictitious character, the F+B ambulance company wasn't real either.

reply

Yes it is acting, but it is also supposed to be somewhat believable.

If we don't believe the story or the characters it isn't worth watching.

yeah. she could have said "that would make me 12" and it would be more likely.
