Why did Woody have himself knocked off?


Expecting very funny answers here.

You--lighten up. You--big trouble. You--get in the car.

Most likely to sort of bookend the narrative of the movie. The beginning has Joe Strombel and Jane Cook on the boat crossing the river Styx and end has Sid Waterman doing card tricks on his way to the afterlife.

First time he does in a movie, right?

Maybe if he stayed alive then he would have to go off with his very young co star!

Its that man again!!

No, I can think of another, much earlier one his character died in. I'm not going to tell which one as that would be something of a spoiler.

Well, awfully good of you to withhold any telling details that could possibly spoil it for someone, lol. And I love that Prokofiev piece someone and the Grim Reaper dance away to, Lt. Kije I think it's called.

maybe he thought if he dies
the audience would feel sorry for him and forget that he is a pederast

i told you not to stop the boat. Now lets go. Apocaylpse Now

You should've mentioned that that was a spoiler. Anyway, I think he didn't want to have the Scarlett Johnansen character die again, since she had just been killed in his previous film.

Thats a good point it was his turn to die now LOL.

I think real life Woody had a very hard time driving on the wrong side of the road and couldn't see it going any other way for movie Woody.
