Question: At the end of the movie why does Charlie go to live with the older couple on the farm?
Question: What is the English translation of the Japanese song playing while Takashi is finishing the tricycle race?
Chosen answer: It's the song "Daisy Bell" by Harry Dacre.
Question: Does anybody know if there are non-credited cameos in this film? During the scene on the beach, where the girl meets the two dancers, I think I see a young Jean-Claude Van Damme in the crowd wearing a black spandex suit and the kid from Revenge of the Nerds holding a soccer ball.
Answer: According to IMDB.com, the following actors were uncredited in this film: Michel Qissi, Passerby in first dance sequence - Lela Rochon, Extra in first scene - Kara Vallow, Break Dancer - Jean-Claude Van Damme, Passerby in First Dance Sequence.
Question: Did any of the actors know how to play their instruments? Because sometimes Harry Shearer seems to know what he's doing on the bass, particularly during 'Big Bottom' but the two leads sometimes look as though they're playing air guitar.
Answer: The actors are all good musicians - it's them playing.
Question: When Axel and Jenny are investigating Maitland's warehouse, and they find the cocaine buried under the coffee, then they're caught by Maitland's men. Why don't they just shoot and kill Axel and Jenny right away?
Answer: He was surrounded; Axel didn't want Jenny to get killed in the crossfire. Plus, they wanted to interrogate him and find out how much he knew and if he told the LAPD.
Question: In the special features on the DVD, there was a deleted scene in which Madison met a sea hag. Had this scene been in the movie, what would have transpired between the two?
Answer: The sea hag gives Madison a set of instructions she has to carry out, and tells her that she can only survive out of the ocean for six days. She also tells her she has to wet her tail every day, which is why Madison is seen in the bathtub.
That's why she took a bath that night and got her legs wet turning them into fins.
Question: At the end of Part 3, when we see the police taking Chris out of the cabin and to one of the squad cars, it's the middle of the day. At the beginning of this film, however, when we see the police taking the dead bodies out of the cabin, it's the middle of the night. What's going on here? Would it really have taken them that long to collect all the bodies?
Answer: It is my understanding that this is due to a complete lack of resources and/or manpower. Being that the location Higgins' Haven is located in is such a small podunk town, it would generally take more than a few hours to rustle up the required personnel to assist in such a mass cleanup of a massacre such as the one we were witness to.
Question: What kind of car is the yellow one the two ladies drive after they ditch the Mercedes? The one where the top comes comes up to let people in.
Chosen answer: It's called a "Nova" (but not as in the Chevy Nova). It's a kit car, in the U.S. and for the film, it was made by the Sterling Sports Car company. Although the Nova kit car originated with the English company Automotive Design and Development Ltd.
Question: Why exactly did David Lynch have his name removed from the TV version?
Answer: Because it was edited in a way he didn't approve of. The film was actually over 3 hours long, and it was trimmed by about an hour for the cinema version, and then a certain amount of pick and mix went on to come up with the video version.
Question: When Kara's shown putting on her Linda Lee disguise for the first time, how does she do this?
Answer: It's never explained, she could have changed at super speed. In Superman II, when confronted by the super criminals at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman did a disappearing and reappearing act. So did the criminals. It might be a similar thing.
Answer: Charlie had nowhere else to go and trusted no-one. The Manders had previously taken in Charlie and her father, were kind, and, knowing the truth, did not exploit them and tried to protect them. Charlie needs a home and knows they will care for her.
