I meet the author of the book at a convention years ago and asked him about the watermelon. He said someone higher up started micromanaging the director big time about halfway through the movie. Director put it there without anybody's approval so there would be one thing in the movie that was his decision alone.

Thank you. The element of absurd rebellion fits the movie perfectly.
