Goofs Blown Tire?


Watched the movie - but never saw the blown tire referenced in the Goofs section - on either side of the car. When and where was it? I must have slept at times - box also says "rated R for ... brief nudity" but I missed that too.

The Indian guy looking for $50 shoots out the driver's side tire. When we see Howard rolling up when Tim Roth's character apprehends him the passenger's side tire is blown. Also at the end his daughter, son and his girlfriend are fixing the passenger side tire.

As for the nudity I must say that it's kind of funny to give this movie an "R" rating for the approximately 2 second shot of two manicurists flashing their breasts in the hotel scene. It really is kind of amazing that you have to show extreme violence to get such a rating but a couple of seconds of the body of a woman will get the same treatment. Sad.

I missed those scenes too. I saw it in the trailer, but not the dvd. I think it was cut.



I need coffee. Maybe I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee.

And it is really disappointing that there were no 'Deleted Scenes' in the dvd Extras as on the director's commentary Wim keeps referring to how we can view them later

...and we have a new game today, I think, don't we, Mac?

reply

Agreed. They need to do that with all films, or just use the final cut for trailers exclusively.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I thought I was losing my mind because in the commentary Wim keeps telling us to watch the deleted scenes, but I couldn't find them on the DVD. And as far as I know, there's only been one DVD release.

Anyway, yeah Wim twice mentions a "beautiful" deleted scene where the indian trashes the car. He also talks about an interesting scene in the casino bar that was cut to keep things moving. And he mentions a 3rd scene where the mother ad libs about how she gambled in a casino for 3 days straight. I can't imagine why they didn't include them on the DVD extras.

reply

They should have, or just left the scene in. Because they showed it during the trailers so much, you knew it happened. Should have included them. Maybe they will in a later addition.
