Feast III: The Happy Finish

Feast Three begins with the last five minutes of Feast Two, which is really annoying when you watch them back to back (but probably helpful if you watch them weeks or months apart).
All of the core characters from Feast Two are back, minus Thunder and most of the badass biker chicks. I know where Thunder went, but I don't really know why four or five girls became two (three if you count Biker Queen). Unless my brain invented extra bikers who weren't there to begin with.
Anyway, long story short, everybody ends up in the sewers with The Prophet and Jean Claude Segal. Fantastic. Now, in addition to fight scenes being shot with so many quick cuts I can't tell what's happening, they're in almost total darkness, too.
Last night I thought I liked Feasts Two and Three, but the more I think about them, the madder I get. Something about them didn't sit right with me.
Sure, the fight scene in the underground club looked awesome, what with the strobe light making the whole scene look like a series of still photos, but I have no idea what happened. I think someone might have gotten killed by monsters or pukers or something. I think Biker Queen and Secrets were involved but, yeah, I don't know. Artistically I approve of the scene, but as someone who's trying to follow the plot of a movie, I'm mostly just mad.
Also, can we talk about Secrets's ridiculous unending devotion to Greg Swank? There's one scene where she basically tells him "I'm done with you" but two scenes later she's all lovey and whiny on him again. What the fuck? That was quick. He doesn't do anything to win her back, she just changes her mind. And I don't get it. Because he's an asshole.
P.S. The end of the movie is abrupt and makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. I had to sleep on it, but I've decided I did like it after all.

End of line.

But why did you like it after all? Inquiring minds want to know.

I don't know. I guess 'cause it didn't make any sense, and that is rarely not funny.
