Strange that Lupo's "attack" on Denise suggests only that he . . . .

. . . . "beat up" on her. Especially when he taunted Louis with comments about his mother's attractiveness earlier in the film.

What self-respecting vanilla-white street criminal (circa 1985-86) fails to rape his super-attractive 30-year-old Latina hottie victim, when he has her at his mercy for an unlimited time with no obvious help on the way?

Lupo should have been thrown out of the vanilla-white street criminal's union.
