Another Look at Body Heat

Over the last two days, I rewatched Body Heat. I want to comment on a few scenes. 

In one, Ned is casing the Breakers where he plans to dump Edmund Walker's body, timing the passes of the police or security personnel. Why is he wearing a red shirt as he hides behind a trash can? Wouldn't gray or black be a smarter choice? 

As Ned is in Miami to establish his alibi for the murder of Edmund Walker, a clown in full make-up drives by in a convertible. This isn't a blink-and-you-miss-it scene; Ned notices and stares at the clown. 

A few scenes later shows a spider in the middle of a web. Who/what will it ensnare?

That's one thing I love about re-watching a film or TV show, re-reading a book. or even listening to a story in class the second (or third) time, there are things you missed the first time around or just didn't pay attention to. There is always more.
