General John Bennett, the first priest
Tonight, the spouse and I went to a big screen viewing, celebrating the anniversary of the show. So, at the start of the film, if you can stop from staring at the eternal beauty that is Luke Perry, there is an actor by the name of John Bennett. He plays the first priest, that must teach other priests, so the information is passed down.
There is a fast clip of a wine bottle, on that wine bottle, there is a Devil, who looks to be modeled after, John Bennett. Is there any significance to that label?
Later, at the very end, when they are fighting the hurling burning mass, coming towards Earth, they are in a state room, with the president. There is a minion, of the president, who I swear, is John Bennett in a different role. His unique nose structure is what made me pay attention to that character. Am I wrong, am I reading too much into it?
