I think the implication is that he sliced his mouth open with a flick of the wrist.

Really? I watched his arms and saw nothing-but I suppose it is possible.

However- he just dropped. Not the reaction I would expect from a guy with a cut like that-limp? Just drop to the floor? No hands to the face- no sound?

I remember this bit. She's got a point. DON'TQUOTEME ;)

Did they show the results of the magic trick? I shut my eyes so I saw the joker grab his head then him falling to the ground.

It happens fast and you don't see much other than the fact that the pencil is gone.

Thanks. Maybe I'll keep my eyes open the 2nd time.

Yeah, I think it was earlier in this thread that I said that moment was about one of the most raw and brutal I've ever seen on film without being at all explicit.

That's what I loved about it.


The mouth-slitting, though. That's another story. It's what I assumed happened, but yeah - the victim reaction made little sense.


I'm seeing it again this weekend. Critical eye and all that, I wonder if I'll like it as much. It was a BIG mistake to see Indy again.

During the film I thought I was missing a lot and needed to see it again...but that may be because Begins was so damn good on the second viewing.

I definitely want to see it again, in hopes that knowing where it's going will help it feel less rambling.
