stripes on alfred's face in the final fight


what was the story of the red and blue stripes he had on his face

also since the launcher was left in the room with snickers does that mean there was a second launcher in the golf bag?

another one when almond joy got darted how did it make it through the mouthpiece since you see her loading it from the muzzle also the dart would have been backwards

reply

The reason for the stripes on his face was due to the fact that in the original script the Butler/Bodyguard of the Mayflowers was going to be a large tribal looking African hunter. This noted in the director commentary on the DVD.

Your question regarding a second rocket launcher is incorrect. There was only one. Eddie and Tommy took the one Snickers brought to finish them. For some strange reason when they went to the DaVinci Castle they decided to put it in a golf bag.

As for the whole backwards dart that paralyzed Almond Joy, I have wondered this myself, but you must take into account that there are several cartoony aspects to this film. Also the kaori darts could have had two points on them.

But they clearly went with the English butler option so why the hell does he stroll into the final fight with a few Indian stripes on his cheeks and raising his hand saying 'how'? There's no explanation for it within the world of the film!
