the ending
The very last scene at the airport with the red luggage... what was the point of adding that scene?
shareWhat was that ringamarole with the shoes picture as well ?

or they show it so the next time you're picking up your suitcase from the conveyor belt at an airport and you see a suitcase without owner you'll think about the movie and wonder if the owner is one her way to a brothel in the Far East...
shareI think its lost luggage that will never be found... A simile of Mel, lost and never to be found again...
shareFor me, it was just one final horrifying realization that Mel would never be heard from again. (The red suitcase was hers, in case you didn't catch that at the beginning.)
"This isn't TV, it's real life. Can't you tell the difference?"
"Sure - I just like TV better."
It was apparently an attempt by the "filmmaker" (a term so inaccurately used in this sentence, that I was barely able to get it out) to give this POS film a pastiche of "artistry."
Bad films are a crime against humanity.

I guess I'm the only one who read a little more into it...
I concluded that someone in AIRPORT BAGGAGE is also in on the lookout for vulnerable/desirable girls to kidnap. The luggage getting lost delayed the girls from leaving the airport right away (making them the last ones there) and easier to kidnap...hence revealing the conspiracy & amount of people working together in the scheme is much LARGER then one might think. Definitely an excellent final shot and sent a slight chill!
You saw it come out...looked like the following morning. Probably got a call saying "its done" and they just threw the bag on the conveyor belt without a care in the world.
I'm just sorry there wasn't a Director's Commentary on the disc...loved to have heard what he truly was trying to convey.
Flaming welcome, but that's how I took it.

I just watched this for the 2nd time and it's not a totally crazy idea. If their luggage is delayed on a late flight, it at least sets ups a scenario for the shuttle driver.
A director's commentary would be great for this movie!
I don't think it was a conspiracy involving the airport staff, but it's a possibility.
shareBut if it were checked baggage, that would mean that the person handling the baggage would have to know who it belonged to. So does that mean that there are TWO people involved: one at the departure airport (who flags the baggage somehow) and someone at landing who then delays the baggage?
Doesn't really make sense to me.
that delayed bag was the cause of the whole ordeal. Perfectly reasonable to show it in that way.
