I watched this again after many years last night and I thought the same about how Jake led them all there, but it all comes down to that idiot at the end. Escobar was precisely shooting at Evelyn's tires to stop her, gets held back, but then that idiot takes over and starts shooting indiscriminately willy nilly, not really aiming, and rapid fire. That is why she got hit. The blame ain't Chinatown as far as I'm concerned.
It did make me wonder if they wanted to bury it but I hadn't tied it in with the scientology.
Well, thank you for finding that!
This part annoyed me, you are right, it was her responsibility. She didn't verify who he was, period.
I saw this on the Roku yesterday, and read in the trivia that the initial concept was a remake of Risky Business. I'm glad they developed their own story, although still many similarities. I like both movies on their own.

I saw not only that, but two bottle facilities are going out of business because Budweiser was their client.
Many workers out of a job and that CEO is still blind as a bat and determined to stay the course as far as I know.
Did anyone see his latest interview?

Do you really think an old woman getting lucky because the perpetrator is a snot nosed kid is promising that every intruder would be the same to deal with? Also, sounds like she got beat up pretty bad. Maybe you should read more newspapers, there's some pretty horrific criminals out there that no "snack" is going to distract and placate.
Good luck to you.
I tend to agree with this because he was crazy about and desiring of Bobbie Lee before he was molested or taken advantage of. Someone also brought up the point that naturally any stimulation would cause physical arousal, whether he wanted it or not. We don't know what happened in the encounter but that was very low of his boss to mess up his young employee.
I think he was traumatized by the whole thing, no wonder he couldn't do what he wanted to just a few days earlier with Bobbie.
I watched this on youtube yesterday, read on this board, then watched again, for these "clues".
I did not see a single clue that his boss was giving Billy Joe looks or anything that indicates his lust.
The other thing, Billy Joe not being attracted to or turning down skanks or prostitutes is not unusual. And another thing, just saw Cold Mountain the other day, Inman was propositioned by a bunch of loose women in that house. One really was ready for him, bare end and all, and he was turning her down before he was arrested. You might know the scene. But basically, he only desired Ava and the sleeze was a turn-off.
Anyway, it would be interesting if there was information out there with the screenwriter's original intent on the Billy Joe character because I think it is not clear at all that he was gay to begin with or even after for that matter.
I remember my father and I waiting in the car for my mother and this song came on. After a while of listening, my dad remarked how he sounds like he's straining on the pot. Then he started mocking along, gritting his teeth on the end line, "You take my breath away(eeee), and I don't know what to say (eeee)"
I must have missed this movie at the time, but had gotten the books via Scholastic back in middle school.
Which came first, the books or the movie? I wonder if they were going to do a Waiting Games movie but how can they show a 14 year old losing her virginity?
I didn't know there was a third book until today. Apparently, it came many years later, way past my time.
