What are the options that the gas could have been that Frank Booth was inhaling?
What was with Detective Gordon, in the end scene with Don tied to the chair? The guy that Jeffrey Beaumont grabbed the gun from? The yellow jacket? He knocked over the lamp, but was like comotose, yet standing. It looked like his neck was bleeding. Was he tied there somehow? I was surprised when Frank blew him away.
Why was Dorothy Vallens naked at Jeffrey's house when he showed up with Sandy? She had obviously been brutalized: are we to assume that Frank knew where Jeffrey lived and dropped her off there after killing Detective Gordon and Don in Dorothy's apartment? If Gordon was dead, that is.
Or, should we assume she knew where he lived, somehow escaped, and found his house? She seemed drugged out or something at that point, though. Which makes her finding his place un-likely. And, wandering naked un-likely.
Are we to assume that the Vallens family was somehow entrenched with the Frank Booth gang before this all went down: or, does one assume this was random? The way Dorothy got off on being beaten seemed to lend credence to a theory that this might have gone down because they were involved with Frank Booth and not just a random target.
Is one to assume that Ben orchestrated the kidnapping for extortion? Or, that Frank orchestrated it to abuse Dorothy? Why would Ben be involved at all and why would they keep Don and Don Jr. at Ben's place?
In the end when we see Dorothy with Don Jr.: is that a flashback: or is it showing that the kid is OK?
I like the red curtains blowing. This was a simple tool for creating serious tension.
The fat people at Ben's place, well everything about Ben's place, was really, really creepy beyond belief. I noticed Ben's hand was bandaged.
The music in the movie was exceptionally well chosen, and yeah, Orbison is creepy as hell.
One of the best movies I have ever seen, IMO.
