    I was referring to the fact that I hadn't seen the film when I went to the board because on the main page for Midnight Express it didn't include Oliver Stone in the writing credits. I didn't notice there was an option to view 'more' so I went to the boards and staring me in the face was this title. What I was trying to get across was something like "A title such as "Question about Max SPOILER" would have been a more considerate title as I hadn't seen the film when I saw this thread's name, you absolute bastard."

      Max was indeed a real character. In the book, he was released about a year after Billy escaped, but in the movie, he was almost dead from the endless beatings and malnutrition.

        First, I'm always a little surprised to find people becoming upset about finding spoilers on pages whose very purpose is to present discussions of movies that the people who post have seen. If you look at the quotes, trivia, goofs, etc., you run the risk of reading something that may give away plot points. (Some of those pages contain spoiler alerts. But not all.) But this is like going to the bar next to the theater and getting upset if you hear people talking about the movie they've just watched.
        That being said, hopefully this will be sufficient warning:
        SPOILER ALERT - READ AT YOUR OWN PERIL - NO ONE ELSE BESIDES YOU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS E-MAIL AND WHAT YOU LEARN IF YOU KEEP READING - I'M SERIOUS - STOP NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE YOUR MOVIE EXPERIENCE (AND BY THE LANGUAGE OF SOME OF THESE POSTS, YOUR WHOLE PURPOSE FOR LIVING) SPOILED - IT'S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU WHETHER YOU KEEP READING OR STOP HERE AND GO LOOK AT KITTENS OR PICTURES OF DOGS PLAYING POKER - OH WELL, I TRIED TO WARN YOU.
        A few favorites:
        ** The Titanic sinks at the end.
        ** Darth Vader IS Luke's father.
        ** Ilsa gets on the plane with Victor. After all, she was part of his work, the thing that kept him going. If that plane had left the ground and she hadn't been with him, she would have regretted it. Maybe not that day. Maybe not the following day, but soon and for the rest of her life life. And she and Rick would always have Paris.
        ** The planet of the apes WAS earth, which Charlton Heston learned after they took their stinkin' hands off of him, those ****, dirty apes!
        ** It was not a boat accident! And it wasn't any propeller; and it wasn't any coral reef; and it wasn't Jack the Ripper! It was a shark.
        ** Space was the final frontier.
        ** Was it safe? No, it wasn't safe. [Insert dentist drill sound here.]
        ** Mrs. Robinson was trying to seduce him.
        ** Tom Cruise couldn't handle the truth.
        ** Frodo and Sam weren't actually gay, but they were awfully good friends.
        ** It was beauty killed the beast. But he was dead just the same.
        ** She wasn't bad, she was just drawn that way.
        ** Lloyd and Diane go to England and the plane doesn't crash, but her dad is still in jail.
        ** Mike knows it was Fredo, he knows it was Fredo, and it broke his heart.
        Did I miss your favorite? Please add it!
        Strength and Honor

          ** Spock DOES die at the end of Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan but he comes back to life in Star Trek III The Search for Spock
          ** Paul Newman dies at the end of Cool Hand Luke after being shot escaping prison for the third time and taunting the guards "what we have here is failure to communicate!"
          ** Julian and at least one of his trailer park buddies go to jail at the end of each season of Trailer Park Boys

                  You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

                    I love this thread! Here are a few of my favorites (SPOILER ALERT!)
                    .
                    Jennifer dies and then when Oliver Barrett IV
                    runs into his father outside of the hospital, Oliver tells him, "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

                    During the entire time that Dr. Malcom Crowe has been treating Cole "I see dead people" Sear, Dr. Crowe has been dead.
                    Covington is actually located inside an enormous wilderness preserve.
                    Sonny and Sal get the police escort from the bank to the airport, but the driver turns out to be an undercover cop. They don't get away; in fact, Sal is killed.
                    Thelma & Louise drive off a cliff into the Grand Canyon."
                    Tristan is killed by a bear.
                    "Mo chuisle" literally means "My pulse", but can mean "My love" or "My darling". Frankie mercy-kills Maggie.

                                      That's a spoiler? Really? Here are a few more for you, then:
                                      In 'Titanic', the ship sinks
                                      Trainspotting isn't really about train-spotting
                                      The character 'Count Dracula' turns out to be a vampire
                                      Oranges really are not the only fruit
                                      It turns out that Bruce Wayne was Batman all along
                                      Bond kills the bad guy in the end
                                      The main character dies in The Passion of The Christ
                                      Hannibal Lecter eats people
