He's going to be executed but he doesn't care...

Murder in Heartland. Tim Roth, brilliant as usual, taking on these roles that other actors are scared of. Fearless actor. 😗

Can’t believe they let him smoke! Smoking could kill you!

A couple of little known facts about the electric chair. 1 The first electric chair was proposed by Thomas Edison. The same guy who gave us the lightbulb and the recorder also brought us one of the most horrible executions in history. 2 Emperor Menelik of Ethiopia, in a program to modernize his country imported an electric chair to be used as the new form of execution in his country. When it arrived it was discovered that there was no electrical service in his country so it could not be used. The king later used this device as a chair.

Everything looks real...sad they destroy such accurate scenes with skipping the head shaving.

Well, I am an electronics engineer. Seeing the amp meter jumping at 200A ac, I was wondering what will be left from the body… Seriously, guys???

Entered the death chamber smoking, and was smoking when he left.

He shouldn’t smoke cigarettes, it’s bad for your health.

In real electrocutions, they shave the prisoners head

For those who don't know, Voltage is the potential. Amperage is the current, Or the amount of electron flow. It only takes approximately 1/10 of 1 amp to stop your heart, properly grounded

It took a moment but then I realised that Tim Roth is playing the role of Charlie Starweather and that the lady must be Carol Fugate. Well, Charlie was a Psychopath so I don't suppose the Sentence worried him as his actions clearly pointed him in that direction.

"Are you willing to shave your head for the final scene?" 'Nope. Not for the money you're paying me for this shit movie!" "Bald cap?" "Nope. Pain the ass, unless you're willing to pay me more for the hassle." "Ok... Well, with 20+ times the normal amount of amperage your hair would most definitely catch fire along with the rest of your head probably exploding like a melon with an M-80 in it." "Whatever."

They call it the "dance hall"...but he elected to "sit this one out."

"I've always wanted to be an outlaw, just not this big o' one." Charles Starkweather

There is usually a lot of steam when that sort of thing happens.

Doesn't he know that smoking can shorten your life!

The irony of threating a man with a rifle, when you're already taking him to die.

He wasn't wearing glasses when he left the cell, but is wearing them in the chair...

Starkweather did not value life, not even his own. He probably faced his demise with the mentality of a martyr.

That was a real….shocker!!!! I love you great actor ❤

This is pretty much what happens on real executions. I guess... "Ride the lightening"
