3 movies with endings I did not understand...

1. K-PAX, okay so what was this guy? A real alien or was he just psycho from what happened to his family? And the big question - What happened to that girl at the end, the one who was also at the hospital with him?

2. Jeepers Creepers, at the end, what did the Creeper take from the guy?

3. I Know What You Did Last Summer, at the end of the first one, the guy jumps at Julie from the shower. Then in the sequel - I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, she's back? So did she die in the first one and magically came back or was she dreaming?

I can answer the first, but I'll leave the other two as I do not watch teen horror films. It is really how you interpret it. You could say he was only a spirit occupying the body of his friend and left with the girl. Or you can say he was a nut drop and she just disappeared. This isn't the deep thought film of the year, so don't loose sleep over it.

2. He took his eyes, and probably added the rest of his body to his "collection."

Actually, there is another interpretation of the K-Pax ending... the alien guy is the bluebird (the bird that has no home), but I THINK he is from K-Pax (for example: when he's being hypnotised, his voice is TOTALLY different. That ending is weird. It could mean anything...

Ooooooh! I've got the answer to all three:

The movies suck.

Seriously, [i]K-PAX[/i] was an absurdist melodrama completely devoid of any real thought or--what's worse--redemptive entertaining element (and I'm even a gigantic Kevin Spacey fan)...the ending doesn't make sense because the director foolishly hoped to instill within us a snese of wonderment and awe. But it failed.

As for the other two movies, meh. The ending to IKWYDLS technically makes sense on its own [b]until[/b] the sequel came out. The reason for confusion? money. pure greed.

KPAX, I think the guy might have just a been a spirit occuping the body and he really did take the girl back. JC was just stupid and I'm assuming he just used what he needed, then plastered the body on his "Wall of fame" lol. IKWYDLS was just there to leave it open as a sequel.

well i've actually never seen any of those movies but i can give a little tidbit about the third one. i've seen i still know what you did last summer and it ends the same way. i actually never knew thats how the first one ends. it seems that mrk is right, they want more money. since i didnt know how the first one ends, i thought there was never going to be a 3-qual(???) but since now i know she can come back from the dead, maybe there will be.

OH YEAH! That was one I had meant to ask along with the ones before...

Yeah, what was that all about anyway? Didn't they (Paul Walker, Leelee Sobieskee) kill the trucker? So why was the trucker's voice still on that radio thing after they got rescued??? :confused:

the ending for IKWYDLS isnt supposed to make much sense. It just shows you that there will be a sequel...just like Godzilla and ZX-Men and Mortal Kombat....although the second MK movie did leave off right where the first one ended.
