| Bad Influence / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: Alex at one point says, "You make a very funny face when you come" to Michael while watching the videotape he made of Michael having sex, much to the latter's horror. Later in the film, Michael turns this around by saying, "Has anyone ever told you you make a very funny face when you come?" while holding a knife to Alex's throat. | |
