Where do you get 16, Mark Wahlberg's character was picking the girl up outside of a college with the stolen limo. She's gotta be over 18, right?


Baby, you make me wish I had three hands!

I believe it was a boarding school not a college. The students wore uniforms.

I noticed WAY too much infomation about this movie.

reply

Apparently not, since the father specifically says he's picking her up from college.

reply

They only changed it to college thanks to meddlers like the OP on this topic.

Nevermind that 16 is the average age of consent, planetwide.

I go to a college that wears uniforms, The Citadel. And the first time you meet her father, he says he has to pick up his daughter at college.

remember that in japan, if you say "college" they think high school, too.

reply

The script specifically says she's in college, despite what you know or don't know.

reply

The original script specifies high school. It was changed in response to the same types of whiners who created this IMDB topic.

Whiners? Who have a problem with a person in their late 20's getting with a chick in highschool? Yeah...I guess that makes one a whiner.

reply

Whiners: People who have more problems with a consensual relationship than they do with kidnapping and random and murder.

She said she studied bio-engineering. Show me a highschool that teaches bio-engineering. It was a college.

They just wanted to put the hot Asian chick into a school girl uniform and I absolutely support that decision.

I think humanity should be wiped out and then we can give evolution a second chance.

reply

My country has uniforms for either Colleges or Universities but I'm not sure if the US has such a thing.

reply

she is part. her dad is chinese with a little english and her mother was japanese/german.

reply

16 is over the age of consent in the UK, don't know about elsewhere. Realistically however 16 year old girls who still have their virginity is an increasing rarity (at least in the west).

reply

Dude, I laughed at that post for the rest of the night...everytime I read something spelled wrong in a post, I cracked up all over again.

reply

she could have been a 19 yo senior in boarding school

reply

Her father specifically states in the movie that she is being picked up at college. and i always thought consentual rape was an oxymoron. statutorial rape exists because when they aplly it the person is deemed incapable of granting consent because of age, mental handicap, ect.

Just 1 point...they didn't have sex.
So her age is irellevant.

Imagine there's no heaven.
It's easy if you try.

they wanted to go japanese anime with keiko's character and have her as a 16 y/o schoolgirl but the powers that be said no way!! so they changed the character to a college student, college as in university, and yes some colleges do wear uniforms, even another poster said her's did. she's no lolita.

WTF is consentual rape???? rape is when you dont give your consent!!! DUH!
if your trying to say that she's underage so cannot legally give her consent, that would still be statutory rape.

Statutory rape differs from forcible rape in that overt force or threat need not be present. The laws presume coercion, because a minor or mentally challenged adult is legally incapable of giving consent to the act.

The term "statutory rape" generally refers to sex between an adult and a sexually mature minor past the age of puberty. Sexual relations with a prepubescent child, generically called "child molestation", is typically treated as a more serious crime.

however it very clear that she isnt a minor so its not even statutory rape, let alone consentual rape??? that doesnt exist, google it if neccessary. if you give consent (and are legally of the age to) its not rape

reply

This post is not directed to the OP specifically, but to all others who replied to this thread with ignorant statements and biased views.

Keiko goes to college. She does not go to high school.

1. Her father says she has to be picked up at college.
2. To my knowledge, the Japanese people refer to latter day educational communities as universities, not colleges - although I may be wrong about that as I am basing that off of what several 2nd and 3rd generation Japanese Americans have told me they refer to it as.
3. The legal age of consent varies depending on your country's laws. Get off your moral high horse and stop preaching your religious/societal/cultural views on others.
4. The actress was born in 1974 which puts her in her mid-20's.
5. As it so happens, the orignal script for this movie called for Keiko being in high school. However, it was changed by the request of the production studio due to societal concerns about an adult and a teenage high schooler.
6. Many colleges in the US and across the world do require or at the very least endorse uniforms.
7. Keiko's school girl uniform is a homage to Anime. That is in the IMDB Trivia for the movie as well.
8. Even if Keiko was in high school it really shouldn't matter. Based on her apparent age and academic knowledge it is *likely* to assume she is a senior.
9. Although the average American High School student is 17, there are still many others who are 18 - and I am not referring to students who were held back a year. Example; if you are born in say November but enrollment period is August-September (in many states) then you would have to wait until your 5th birthday before you can enroll. You would have been 4 in September, so you wouldn't be allowed to enroll until either November when you turn 5 or the following year - again, depending on state. This happened to both Your's Truly and my own son.
10. As another poster pointed out, you would be hard pressed to find a 16 year old virgin girl, but I am not really sure it should matter. Are the other posters upset because they mistakenly thought she was under the legal age of consent in the US or because a twenty-something deflowered her?

She was Picked up from College not a High School...

Both charcter and Actress were 'Legal' at the time of filming... if you read the Trivia section, you will see that this was changed from the original script to avoid any implication of impropriety
