Joanna kills reverend and gets away with it?....


Bobby says in the end they lived happily ever after, but Joanna killed reverend played by Perkins, so what the hell nobody noticed that murder?

reply

Yes, strange. I remember reading something that said that Reverend may or may not have been the altar ego of China Blue.

"Reverend may or may not have been the altar ego".

That good!

Sorry, it's such an old movie I didn't think there are still people who didn't see it...

Right, because it came out a long time ago there couldn't possibly be anyone who has never seen it. Pretty idiotic, my friend.

He was not a real reverend, He was a psycho killer

reply

Well he technically didn't really kill anyone. The image of the dead nude dancer I believe was all in his head hence he instead takes his aggression out on a blowup doll.

I see what you did there.

This film was more fantasy than reality. But as far as fantasy goes, it was way off the charts.

Bobby doesn't say that they lived happily ever after, in fact he makes the statement in therapy that he isn't sure if it will work out, or not.

Second, there was plenty of evidence that the preacher was a psycho and planned on killing Bobby. Remember the scissors he had in his hands. Once they checked his humble abode, they would have found more than enough to prove he was crazy. Any jury in America would no-bill Joanna once it went before a grand jury.

What bellybutton said. He was there to

kill Johanna and ends up in drag holding a pair of scissors with a vibrator stuck in his back.

One just can't get tired of seeing a demented Anthony perkins in drag!

I'm here, Mr. Man, I can not tell no lie and I'll be right here 'till the day I die

reply

Not sure if he was intending to ever kill Joanna though since they switched outfits and he let her kill him. I think he was always intending for her to kill him, he wanted to save her from the life of China blue, in the end she dressed as the reverend killed him with the deadly dildo while he was China blue and then while dying he said goodbye to China blue.

A silly little legal construct called SELF DEFENSE.

"They sucked his brains out!"

reply

Actually it was in defence of another life.

reply

Last I checked, she killed him with the dildo because he had a pair of scissors in his hand and was about to stab Bobby to death.

Because every boday has seen every single film before 2000, perfect logic.


Only those with no valid argument pick holes in people's spelling and grammar. 
