* Gittes's trauma over Loach's shooting of Evelyn (which led to Cross's gaining custody of Katheryn) leads him to get catharsis--for himself and the audience, as the flashbacks to the end of ''Chinatown'' make clear.

* While we don't get to see it, the confirmation that Katherine managed to escape from Cross's grasp between the two movies is welcome news. We can only hope she killed (or at least castrated) him in the process.
