I must be missing something from the prison flashback. At some point he drops the whole neo-nazi thing. How/when?
First he is angered that his prison gang buddy is not pure "white-power" after seeing him dealing favors with the mexican gang, he then leaves the nazi gang because they won't stand behind his preaching. Then the next scene he is buddy-buddy with his black co-worker and doesn't harbor nazi feelings anymore.
Where is the transition? I find it hard to believe that folding underwear with one black guy can completely turn around someone with such a hard-core ideology.
Other than that plot hole and Fairuza Balk's shitty acting I think its a great movie.
An awesome scene no doubt, but how does he go from that to the complete opposite just by folding underwear for 6 months?
