Faq

Does Jimmy....

....go over the cliff with the scooter at the end of the movie???: ANSWER; In a word: No. .We see him walking away from the cliff edge at the very beginning of the movie. This brings the movie round full circle, with his rejecting ("Ive Had Enough"), his past lifestyle and him throwing his mentors scooter of the cliff, then walking away into the world of responsibility and maturity, the boy has turned into a man. The movie that follows is his story, his past life and of his awakening.
