What was the significance of Justin Long's bellybutton?


What was the significance, if any, of Justin Long's exposed navel in various close-ups? Anyone know? I consider both films to be among the best horror films of all time, especially the first one.

Tattoo to identify him/the character

Thanks, so it wasn't his navel that was significant, but the tattoo, instead. Did the tattoo have any special significance to the monster? None of the other victims seemed to have it.

I'm sorry, but these questions you're asking seem ridiculously stupid. It's fairly obvious that the tattoo is the way in signifying to the viewers that this is indeed Trishs brother. Why WOULD that have significance to a monster who has supposedly been doing this for years? This was his first encounter with the characters what could the tattoo of an unknown stranger possibly mean to the monster? Especially considering none of the other victims have it. Like I said I'm sorry but these are just so ridiculously obvious I'm just surprised you even felt the need to ask.

im sorry but nial is right, pretty retarded when you can clearly see the tattoo. it also doesnt matter.

It may be the "Rosebud" for the writer/director...a predilection for navels of young men/boys?

reply

Other than it being the girliest tattoo a guy could ever get? No, no significance.

What, exactly, are retarts? 

Your opinion of me doesn't define who I am.

It may have had some significance to the Creeper. The Creeper had a bit of an artistic flair, he liked to make things ornate, the knife and in Creeper 2 his throwing star---which was adorned with a belly button that had a rose tattoo.

Something for Salva to jack off to when he's feeling frisky.
