It bears mentioning that this isn’t how this happened in the source material, and the comparison actually robs Julia of some agency. Of course, we know Spike survives-but not unscathed. Spike falls into the water, and Vicious walks away. He taunts him, saying that Julia chose him over Spike (not true), and then he, and his men, open fire. He has his people intercept Julia before she can meet Spike, and he then goes to meet his brother.
Spike gets Gren and Ana to make up new identities for them, but in the meantime, Vicious has learned about the affair. He also kills a child who witnessed the carnage.Īfter that, Spike and Julia agree to run away together. Instead, Spike goes to the Blue Crow Club and… kills all of the rival gang members who would’ve had a bone to pick with Vicious. But when push comes to shove, Spike can’t slit Vicious’ throat. If he doesn’t, his boss says, someone else will-he thinks Spike, as Vicious’ “brother,” will at least make it quick. And for Spike, the situation is even worse: The Syndicate wants him to kill Vicious, giving the reasoning that he’s become too much of a liability. As they leave, Vicious spots one of the gang members and brutally beats him, leaving Spike to get Julia out of there he takes her home, and, well, the rest is history.īut things are complicated for them, since Vicious would never allow Julia to follow her heart. His moody, erratic behavior casts a dour mood over a date with Julia, and a far cheerier Spike, who is also present, winds up dancing with her. Spike takes it in stride and seems to think they can work their way back up, but Vicious mopes. After a botched negotiation with a rival gang, both he and Vicious are on the outs with the Syndicate. Spike, on the other hand, knows Vicious’ dark side all too well.

They’re together from the start, but, again, as viewers already know, he has a dark side-one that Julia doesn’t recognize until it’s too late for her to break free from it. She becomes a star, but one that’s glimmer is dulled by her relationship with Vicious.
We also know they both fell for Julia, but “Blue Crow Waltz” allows us to actually see Julia’s first moments on the stage and the men’s awestruck reactions. As we know, Spike and Vicious worked together for the Syndicate and saw each other as brothers.
