    Storyline

    • Trivia

    • Quotes

      [At a brothel, the scene of a grisly death]

      Press Lenox: So, you didn't see nothing, you didn't hear nothing, you don't know nothing, right?

      Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You know what I mean, they come - and they go.

      [Starts laughing]

      Dennis Gamble: Well, that's hysterical. Why don't you sit your ass down.

      Seedy Motel Clerk: They come and they go. You get it?

      Press Lenox: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Here you go!

      [Press pushes the wheelchair-bound clerk rolling down a nearby hill]

    • Alternate versions
      DVD release includes some deleted scenes. Three of them are just longer, alternate takes of scenes in the film: Patrick's sex encounter with the debutante and her sister; a longer dance scene in the strip club; a longer version of Patrick's attempt to slid his 'tongue' into Dr. Laura Baker's mouth. The fourth scene shows Patrick going into the apartment of a girl he picked up at a club: when he discovers that the girl is actually a transsexual, he kills her.

    What the....?
    This movie sucks! The original was much better and even it wasn't that good. The only thing this has going for it is the scenes with sex and nudity. Gore fans might like this movie but if your looking for an amazing science fiction/horror experience than watch the ALIEN films.
