Why Was Patrick Swayze wearing a rolex?


He is out of high school for 2 years, works in a gas station and is wearing a $6,000 watch?

10:11 seconds into the movie you can plainly see it.

What's up with that?

They had knockoff Rolexes back in the '80s too.

It was a gift from his Father in the movie.

I did not see it what scene is it?

His father wore it up his rectum for years while in the Vietnamese war camp, and when he died, his friend wore it up HIS rectum for another 2 years, and now he is giving it to Jed

It required a REALLY good cleaning. I just hope his girlfriend doesn't leave it at his apartment.

I drank what?

You and me both. I mean, if that happened...the chain reaction of events could be disastrous! One minute you're driving down the road running over mob bosses...then boom! You're in a pawn shop killing rapists with a ninja sword!

What a day.

The day Chuck Norris dies is the day the world ends.

Chuck Norris will never die. When he sees death coming he'll roundhouse kick it in the head over and over until it leaves him alone. LOL.

I drank what?

reply

That's true. But technically, he's already died. It's just that Death is too afraid to tell him LOL.
