Regarding the so-called "standing corpse" in "Blue Velvet", first of all,
he wasn't yet a corpse at this point. He obviously had a rather severe
bullet wound to the brain, but remember that as Jeffery is entering the room
and sees him, the guy's walkie-talkie blurts out a message and we see the
man's arm flail out. This would indicate some kind of neurological
activity still being present. When Frank returns to the apartment later, he
fells him for good with another shot. Also remember that you're dealing with
David Lynch, so the concept of some mortally wounded guy just kind of standing
around shouldn't be considered strange by his standards.
