Plot holes? Help me fill them in...

Ok, I really loved this movie for a bunch of reasons, but I did feel that I had just whitnessed a bunch of (Intentionally?)placed plot holes.

For one, the lady in the tin foil bar that leads up to a fight scene, and a guy getting stabbed in his.. yeah. Why did it stop there? What happened to that charector? I was expecting her to return in the movie when she said: "That bitch... I'm going to find her, and then I'm going to kill her". It's like the movie forgot about her.

Also, what was the point in showing the FBI? I understand that it stressed the point that they were on the run, and in too deep. However, the last time they showed the FBI, they also let you to believe that they would reappear later in the movie. "Gentelmen, I want you to find her.. and if necessary .. kill her."

Also, what was with everyone thinking that Amy Blue was someone else? Was there more to Amy than we knew? Was she really not as innocent as we percieved in the beginning of the movie? Had she been around? A secret? Or was it meant to be taken as more of an artistic view with the whole red, white, and blue message?

This movie does have a few gaps. It almost feels like the director left them in there so you could wonder and fill them with your own answers. Or they may have left them open for a possible sequel, or even more deleted scenes, than "the directors cut" had.

Help me out here! Personally, I would love to believe that there could someday be a sequel to pick up where this one left off..

Honestly, I think the concept of setting up the character's return to kill Amy was a slap-in-the-face for the end - by anticipating the capture of Amy, no one really expected Jordan to be the one who got it in the end. I also agree with the idea of "fill in the blanks," though her future is rendered kind of pointless by Jordan's fate.

It's also kind of the reverse of each character's entrance in the movie. Their past with Amy (real or not) is inconsequential, so why would their future be any more important?

Yeah, I wonder if Araki had a few other endings in mind involving either the FBI or Parker Posey's character. Then when he decided on one he still kept the set-ups for the discarded ends in.

It's also strange that Xavier isn't the one the FBI suspects, even though he's robbed a bunch of people and killed the first gas station clerk.

I think the people who think they know Amy are mistaken. Or delusional. Kind of like Alice being mistake for Mary Ann in Alice in Wonderland.

Deleted scenes?
