The ending of Angel Heart
Can someone explain to me the ending of Angel Heart? Specifically, why does Robert De Niro appear dressed as a woman with a clean shaven face when he spent the whole movie as the Devil with a beard. Is the cloaked figure supposed to be the soul of Johnny Favorite and the Devil just took his form? Great movie, by the way! -KTcup82 (talk) 04:20, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Isn't Cyphre as a woman the same woman who was cleaning blood off the wall and is later seen sitting in the church room where Harry is snooping and is attacked by a pair of parishioners? I don't know if it needs a rational explanation other than being creepy. Clearly, Lucifer can assume any guise they choose. --Lambiam 12:20, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, no reference, but that's kind of the way I remember it too, and Cyphre appears "dressed as a woman" mainly because of the previous times we saw this cloaked figure (there was at least one later incidence too which kind of quoted the first encounter with the cloaked woman) ... In other words, he was there all along (insert scare chord here). ---Sluzzelin talk  20:18, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

OMG it was such a creepy movie. I was only six when I saw it the first time and am still scared of it. I asked around on the other forums and most everyone thinks that the cloaked figure was the soul of the original Harry Angel, before Johnny Favorite killed him and took his soul. Cyphere later took his form so Johnny (Harry) would be sitting to the face of his own victim without knowing it. There is a continuity problem in the movie since the New York flashbacks have the satanic cult walking through Times Square and the soldier you see is just an extra and neither Rourke nor De Niro. Maybe that was just an intended victim and they found Angel later, don't know. -KTcup82 (talk) 01:55, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

Explain the Rules of Show Jumping
How do the rules of show jumping work? I really want to know how time penalties work. --1RingFB (talk) 20:17, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Show_jumping and Show_jumping are a good place to start. Other editors may be able to give you specifics about time penalties. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 21:02, 20 July 2021 (UTC)


 * "Time faults = 1 fault for every second or fraction of a second over the time allowed (e.g. with a time allowed of 72 seconds, a time of 73.09 seconds would result in 2 time faults)". From Discover Showjumping. Alansplodge (talk) 11:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * But fear not. The Federation's Department of Temporal Investigations will fix these nasty faults, and the timeline will not be greatly disturbed. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:24, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
