The scene where she beats the bajeesus out of them with the golf club?

Let me just describe the scene real quick here. She walks up unnoticed behind two people having the sexy-time, she rears back on that club and swings it full-throttle into the back of that unsuspecting lady's head. She was in attack mode and she was swinging that club HARD...again and again and again.

I thought it was amazingly intense, she'd just killed the two people that ruined her life...what a development, a defining moment here! Because of course they were dead...the kind of torque you can get on a golf club, each hit would likely be fracturing skull. Shoot, she'd need to stop after the second or third one on account of all the flying teeth, bone and brain matter, safety first!

Then a few scenes later...the guy comments on the extent of the damage...why, she'd broken that poor lady's jaw! That was it...all those "batter's up" swings resulted in a single broken jaw, apparently. Uh..wtf?

I'm wondering if that line was added after the fact, you know? Like someone deciding that her character wouldn't be sympathetic enough if she'd killed them, so they rolled it back some. Or maybe they were shying away from an NC-17, I don't know. But going into full 'annihilation mode' like that and only breaking someone's jaw...I'm not sure that even lotteries have those kind of odds!
Did this strike anyone else as weird as hell? It was just fricking brutal...and then it just wasn't much of anything. Took a lot of the wind out of the movie for me right there.

Yes, I have the same question about this. I thought it was something stronger than a golf club, maybe a tire iron. I don't know if a golf club would cause that much blood splatter.

I don’t think it’s a golf club but her crouch that she uses because of her injured leg. A swing with that won’t hurt as much as a golf club.

Christ somehow I must have missed the part where she was informed that the only consequence of those deadly beatings were that the female dancer sustained a broken jaw. I spent the whole movie wondering why there was no consequences for beating them to death or alternatively, whether the deadly beatings she inflicted on the two dancers were just a day dream of what she wanted to do. Surely it would have been much more believable if she'd taken a heavy bat and just belted them around their lower bodies and not their heads. So yes, on the whole I very much agree with your post.

yes. jizz face j-law's character obviously beat those two people in sauna having sex to death with golf club in that scene.

the makers of this shit film then realise that beating people to death with golf club makes main character look unsympathetics. it make them look like psychopath hahahah.

so the makers of this shit film add line and change it so that the two people being kill by jizz face were not kill,they get broken jaw. they are both obviously dead.

this scene is horrible. it is why i avoid shit film starring shit actor. because no one today have talent to write good film any longer. just horrible film maker who should be directing shit art house film, and horrible actor like jizz face j-law who should be mopping floor of movie sets and fetching coffee for actors who actually have talents.

this film is trash. jizz face j-law is worst actor in history.
