Little short on cash? Well you could always have your wife kidnapped,lie about how much the ransom money is,pocket the money,and pay off whatever debts you have. That's the idea that Jerry Lundegard gets and he's convinced nothing will go wrong. But,of course,if something can go wrong,it almost surely will.
Marge Gunderson: So that was Mrs. Lundegaard on the floor in there. And I guess that was your accomplice in the wood chipper.
Trivia: Note in the end credits that there is the symbol for "the Artist Formally Known as Prince" (a Minnesota native) placed sideways.
Question: I've heard that the kidnappers names are Carl and Gaear. Where in the film is this fact established?
