He was a jerk, but did he deserve what happened at the end?

i don't think anyone deserves that... pretty crazy!

Pretty creepy, too. The funny part about it is, there's no way in reality that anyone would be fooled by that costume he had on...what an absurd plot-hole.

Getting raped by a gorilla? Probably not.

I just watched this movie again last night and realized how insane the whole train scene is.

Well, considering the gorilla scene was so far-fetched (uneven in this otherwise sensible-enough film) I guess the film ITSELF turned to the far-fetched at this point on.

After this, he became a high school teacher with some unresolved issues. This made him a perfect disciplinarian for Saturday detention.

The whole movie is pretty messed-up... two quite old, quite rich assholes decide to ruin two guys' lives... over a one-dollar bet. WTF?

Beeks is so effing mean, he's funny in my opinion. A real stretch for the actor (Paul Gleason). He played bastards in The Breakfast Club and Die Hard as well.
