I don't get it

After Nightrider's death Toecutter and his gang comes to a town waiting for the coffin.

While the gang's going crazy a man and his girlfriend drives away in a car and then the gang are chasing them. When Max arrives it seems that the girl was raped but here's the thing I don't get - 1 man with no pants are running away from the crime scene and another man is tied up in front of the girl.

These men looks the same - the tied man shouted and acted like a lunatic just like Nightrider. Was he Johnny or the girls boyfriend? Or was the boyfriend Johnny?

When the guy and girl in the chevy sees the anarchy in the street, he panics and takes off, almost running over the Toecutter, who calls the bikers to go after them. The guy with no pants (turkey) is the chevy driver (hint; they were BOTH raped).

Johnny the boy, who's tied up to his bike was left behind by the bikers because he was stoned again, and there's a scene where Toecutter sends one of the bikers back to get him, but he's been arrested, so he's waiting for him outside the police station.

Is the turkey the boyfriend? When who was tied up in front of the girl?

Johnny the Boy is the one at the car. He's a member of Toecutter's crew. Turkey, the man running pantless across the field, is the original driver of the car and the girls boyfriend.

So why didn't the turkey save his girlfriend?

My guess is that he was a coward.

But who tied up Johnny and left him there?

[–] estcst-3 8 years ago

Johnny was pretty wasted, he may have done it to himself.
