When Louise called did she ever mention the State Trooper in the trunk?
She called twice but didn't mention the trooper in the hot sun.
shareNope

That be almost as bad as admitting murder or attempted murder, leaving that cop locked inside of the trunk was a death trap or sentence, he would probably die of a heat stroke or by being baked/cooked alive inside of the trunk, so that would be murder if he died, she had to have figured that out, it would ruin all chances of sympathy for them both, even if he was found and got out alive, no way would she tell them about that, only an idiot would.
shareYeah, I agree they probably could have handled that better, I guess at that point they didn't care, but they should've just cuffed him to the steering wheel, guardrail, or something of the like. Wouldn't take long to die stuffed in a hot trunk with 2 teeny air holes in the middle of the desert.
shareI agree with you. Cuffing him to the steering wheel would've been better. I also think the guy on the bike would be an accessory to murder (if that's the proper legal term) since he did nothing to help either.
shareI agree it would be murder but I kind of got the impression that Thelma didn't intend for him to die in there (even though logically I don't see how that wouldn't occur to her or even Louise for that matter), like someone would find him and let him out. I only think this because she told the cop to be sweet to his wife. Like she expected him to go back to his family a changed man.
shareMy sympathy for the duo stopped at that horrific moment.
They are even worse than Louise's attacker for killing that innocent man just to save their skins.
