I always figured it was a carton of cigarettes. I mean... the movie is called 200 cigarettes and that's the number of smokes in a carton.

Doesn't matter. It works as a MacGuffin, a plot device that simply motivates characters or moves the story along. The briefcase in Pulp Fiction does the same thing.

reply

the movie is called 200 cigarettes becuase courtney love's character buys paul rudd a carton at the very begining.

Yup. I thought that was pretty obvious, really.

Ahh the Macguffin, hollywood's free cheap ticket to have many enthrwaled in a decent B movie.

at the very end, steffie says she's going to meet tony for breakfast, as martha plimpton is holding the package-- thus keeping the mystery alive.

It looks like Heroin.

(whispers) "HEROIN!".. ROFL! I love it when Gabby Hoffman say's that to Christina Ricci!

As for the package, I don't think it was ciggies, I mean, it wasn't carton shaped! It was supposed to be drug I would think... but guess we'll never really know!

At the end of the movie doesn't Stephie take the package and pull out a cigarette, meaning the pack is full of cigarettes?

reply

Nah.. she picks it up and looks at it, then throws it over her shoulder or something.. I think she has already got the cig in her mouth...

This has always bothered me!! I guess it's one of those never meant to be anything but bothersome things.

That's the fun of it, we're not meant to know. Haha!! That's the funniest running joke in the whole movie.

I don't think it's cigarettes OR drugs. I think the way it's written kind of purposely gives off the impression to the audience that it could be drugs because they're in a bad part of the Lower East Side, and it adds hilariously to Stephie's paranoia, but I think it's probably just something stupid. Stephie ended up going to breakfast with the guy. I don't think it's in character for a shady drug dealer to go out to a little new year's eve party, make a breakfast date with a cute girl, and leave behind his package of heroin. haha
