Questions and comments, spoilers


Did anyone else think, that Zandalee maybe did love Johnny? I know it was lust, but I think she did, and maybe didn't want to admit it!! I also feel like she felt, guilty about what she did to her husband, so she took that trip with him. Another question, how exactly did the husband drown? Later, Zandalee said, how could he drown, if he could swim!! The last question, did her husband tell Johnny, to come down, and meet them on their vacation?

In my opinion, it was a good girl gravitating to a bad boy/rough neck and realizing Johnny was a bit deranged. After the Confessional sex scene, she realized that she needed to get away from him, but I think she still had feelings for him in a physical way,(I do think Johnny was had fallen in love with her) but her true love was always for Thierry. Thierry drowned, maybe because he felt Johnny would eventually win her heart. I think he just gave up. If you remember, when Thierry and Johnny were at the bar before going to the Bayou with Zandalee, Johnny said "going to the Bayou Tesch where we use to go as kids". Thierry figured Johnny would follow and a confrontation would happen. I think after Thierry pulled the gun then asked if they wanted to go finishing was a bit of a let down. I thought something more powerful would happen. PS: If you ever watch the movie again, the first sex scene between Zandalee and Johnny, notice closely her wedding ring on the table next to the bed.

I agree. I wish they would the release the NC-17 version. The movie went straight to video when it was released in 1991.
