History Headscratchers / CabinFever

* Who is this Lucille person Tommy refers to when Dennis bites Bert?
** In the Pancakes scene, after Dennis bites Bert, his dad, Tommy, comforts him. Then starts to yell at Bert "You being sick, that's YOUR problem. But if Dennis is sick, that's my problem. And if I get sick, then that's Lucille's problem" Who is Lucille? That's what the subtitles say he says. There is no character named Lucille in the movie (There is one in Cabin Fever 2, who ironically serves Winston PANCAKES. But it still doesn't fix any confusion). But if he's not saying Lucille, what the heck is he saying? The Seal?

* What is "The Kit"?
** After the "Pancakes" scene, Tommy calls out a man named Fenster and tells him about the kids and the disease. He says they need 'The Kit'. During the chase scene, he is shown lugging around a wooden box. And before Paul stabs him in the ear, he is shown trying to jostle open "The Kit". Is it a weapon? Is it a cure for the disease (if it was, why wouldn't he just use it on the Infected Dennis)? I mean, I get Fenster is supposed to be stupid, but it's weird.

* Who are the guys in hazmat suits killing kids at the end?
** So, the main antagonists of the film (aside from the disease) are these guys in Hazmat suits. Who are these people? Are they cops? The movie never explains it. And, why this specific high school's prom?

* How does Andy (the long-haired redneck) actually die?
** One thing I could never figure out was how exactly does Andy die? He kills Bert, then Paul hits him in the face...with something (seriously, what the hell was that. It looks like a purse). His mouth and nose are shown bleeding but does that actually kill him? It doesn't seem like it would.
*** I believe that the weapon Paul uses is a canteen. Assuming it was filled with water at the time, it would've hit Andy's face with considerable force. Head traumas are notoriously unpredictable but always have the potential to be deadly. What we see on screen suggests that he was stunned by the blow at the very least. It also could've initiated a slow bleed on his brain which, left untreated, may have killed him over the course of several hours. Even if he had recovered from the initial stunning, Paul presumably locked him in the cellar, leaving him trapped and unable to get his head injuries treated.

* In Cabin Fever 2, who exactly is the kid that gets his face smashed in with a fire extinguisher? Towards the end, right after Alex dies and the two are stuck in the shop classroom, Cassie's ex-boyfriend Marc appears outside the door and begs to be let in. While he's screaming at them to let him in, a kid tries to attack him. They get into a fight and Marc smashes his head in with a fire extinguisher. But, my question is, who exactly is that kid? He never appears in the film before this scene, and evidently he has some bad blood with Marc. Who is he? Why is he attacking Marc? I know there's a bunch of extras who are there just to die and throw up blood. But, he's not a random kid who dies from the disease, he's murdered by Marc for no inexplicable reason. But who is he?

** Is doubly confusing because Paul made a point of advising Jeff and Marcy to have "safe sex" when he accidentally walked in on them at the start of the movie. What, it's not okay for Jeff and Marcy to mix bodily fluids, but it's fine for him to leave Karen a souvenir?

* Paul bravely tends to Karen, who is clearly infected, covered with bleeding wounds and puking blood without so much as a hint of concern for his own welfare. Mere minutes later, he takes the extremely painful step of washing his penis in Listerine because he'd just had bareback sex with seemingly-healthy Marcy. Considering that Marcy was the least obvious threat to his health that morning, it seems like a huge overreaction. Although, to be fair, [[DeathBySex Marcy did in fact infect him this way]], so we might be able to chalk this one up to Paul being smart.

** Marcy had the disease first and [[DeathBySex then gave it to Paul when she slept with him]]. Hence the [[MusicalSpoiler sinister soundtrack]] whilst they were doing it, and Paul's [[AsYouKnow pointless comment]] that they weren't using a condom, just so the audience ''is'' clear that the disease is being spread around here. Marcy was obviously the first infected because she starts showing symptoms much earlier - namely, the rashes on her back. As for how she caught this disease, the most likely answer is from a cup of tea she drank in the cabin. An earlier scene showed an ominous, lingering shot of a cup of tea she left on the table. Another ''possible'' answer is from a bath she said she was going to take after the romp.

*** Yeah, but generally that's water for things like watering your garden or washing your clothes. ''Potable'' water would still come from wells, and be tested for contaminants annually.

Even if he had recovered from the initial stunning, Paul presumably locked him in the cellar, leaving him trapped and unable to get his head injuries treated.
*** Confirmed, there is a deleted scene showing Paul toss Andy into the basement/cellar and another deleted scene showing the police, after killing Jeff and burning the other bodies, shooting up the basement and lighting it on fire. Though it is unknown if Andy was already dead or not. Also, the weapon Paul uses kind of looks like a shovel to me when in slow motion. It's hard to tell since it's only on screen for about 3 seconds.

** In the Pancakes scene, after Dennis bites Bert, his dad, Tommy, comforts him. Then starts to yell at Bert "You being sick, that's YOUR problem. But if Dennis is sick, that's my problem. And if I get sick, then that's Lucille's problem" Who is Lucille? That's what the subtitles say he says. There is no character named Lucille in the movie (There is one in Cabin Fever 2, who ironically serves Winston PANCAKES. But it still doesn't fix any confusion). But If he's not saying Lucille, what the heck is he saying? The Seal?

*** Actually, funnily enough, in the script, (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQFV4F-jzMB7qcIkTRLZXJn1mtFKFzvq/view), this is Lucille's only ever mention as well. It's weird, maybe the Lucille from Cabin Fever 2 is the same lady, or just a coincidence.

During the chase scene, he is shown lugging around a wooden box . And before Paul stabs him in the ear, he is shown trying to jostle open "The Kit". Is it a weapon?

** Presumably Lucille is an unseen character, whether she be Tommy's wife/daughter/sister/cousin/friend/employee, but Roth neglected to show her and thus confusion is created.
