Why is Dutch so sure that "Hoppa" was skinned alive?
Any idea?
shareBecause it sounds more dramatic and the dialogue flows better?
Because he's a bit shook up by it and is unconsciously embelishing the facts?
Having not skinned anyone myself, let alone both alive and dead, I'm not aware of any particular differences betwixt the two that would be evident hours after the event...
This!
There's no real way that he could have known for sure that Hopper and his team were skinned alive and from what we saw later in the film and in P2 he was probably very much dead before being skinned. But he was making a strong point to Dillon about being used, so it's probable that he'd embellish the facts to further his point.
