Hi
I'm new here, I come from the Imdb boards. I started a thread there, in the Pierre Tremblay board, about some shots that appear in the movie's trailer, but don't appear in the final movie.
Well, yesterday I watched my dvd for the first time, and let it spin until the end, although I wasn't paying much attention to the credits. But by chance I did catch these lines at the end of the cast:
Killer mechanic name of the actor
Grease monkey name
Assailant name
Wow, 'killer mechanic', what a title for a movie!!! haha.
So these must be the 3 guys that kill Jack on Ennis' mind (I won't go into that old debate) and appear in the quick flashes. Then I remembered that one of the 3 shots that appear in the trailer and not in the movie, showed two mechanics in front of a garage (maybe) looking off camera, and one of them holding a tire iron.
And I guess this shot must be part of a more elaborated death scene that got trimed for the final version. I already read about the triming on other posts, but I didn't make the connection between this and the mechanics shot from the trailer. (The other two missing shots were easily put in the context of the movie). So these are the faces of Jack's killers... (well, hypothetically).
I'm sure many of you knew this credits from the movie's Imdb page (I never bothered to check out the complete cast version), and had thought about this already, but it just dawned on me. I never identified Jack's killers as mechanics, I just saw them as anonymous random featureless guys, that happened to have a tire iron at hand. Pretty stupid I guess.
Well, thanks for reading
