Ending?


In IMDb's trivia section it says:

The original ending included Belial walking around Manhattan. But the director and crew soon realized that they did not have the budget or technical requirements to pull off such a scene. Instead Frank Henenlotter wrote the scene with Duane streaking through New York. He called Kevin Van Hentenryck to get his approval. Kevin loved the idea and it was shot the next night.
and then:
Duane's streaking scene was shot without permits on a cold winter's night. To shoot the scene the crew would first clear the sidewalks of any objects that might hurt Kevin Van Hentenryck if he stepped on them. Then he was let of out a heated van on one side of the block and met on the other side by another heated van. Once picked up the van would drive him to another block. This was repeated until they got the desired amount of shots


What's that about streaking? In the version I saw they just show them fall on the sidewalk and die...


By the way, did anyone else thought that the stop-motion used for moving Belial across the hotel room floor was worse than a 50's Godzilla movie?

No, that refers to the dream he is having while the freak is raping his girlfriend, in which he runs around naked.

Yeah, the effects were wonderfully horrendous.

"*beep* Mickey Mouse. *beep* him in the *beep* with a big rubber dick!"

Yeah. Perhaps the version you saw had that scene cut out of it.

You! Obey the fist!

Right. Dwayne streaking is actually supposed to be Belial. But through Dwayne's telepathic link with his brother he see's himself.

Who knew this movie had symbolism? Crazy!!! :0)
