So you like to play games.

I do alot of work at home and Croc 1 & 2 tend to be put on for backround noise quite a bit. Here are a few things I would like to discuss.

1. Anyone think the bad guys in this movie were about as scary as the easter bunny? Seriosly, this guy keeps trying to come off as Tony Montana and he comes as a joke. What games is he talking about playing? I'm pretty sure it wasn't setting the place on fire due to the fact that they supposedly played this game as children, and gangstas or not, no one is that crazy.

2. Also in the 2nd, when Walt comes back from Mick saving him and Walt tells Sue that Mick was shot, and he's going to get the bad guys, she takes the gun and starts to leave, Walt asks what shes up to and her reply is something like. Mick thinks this is all a game, these guys aren't here to play games. What in the hell does she think she is going to do to help? She doesn't have any idea about the outback, and yes we got the impression she was good with a gun in the first one, but honestly, she almost f'ed everything up at the end of the 2nd, she got extremely lucky Mick wasn't killed in her attempts to help him.

That's all for now, more once I know people are reading this.

My answers:

1. Yep, they came across as inept; suspect this was the way the roles were written. The games they played when kids was to NOT chase the snake into the canefield - where it would be hidden and their pursuit revealed making it easier for the snake to attack them. Thus, they set fire to the canefields to run the snakes out into the open.

2. Agree - Sue's reaction a little over the top considering how successful Mick had been in capturing the ones he did AND saving Walter's life with the fake crock. Anyway, Sue's gun was supposed to be out of bullets. Isn't that what she tells Mick when he asks her to watch the prisoner (only 1 at that point)by telling her "if he moves, kill him." Sue then tells Mick they are out of bullets whereby Mick responds "yes, but he doesn't know that". She shouldn't have been able to shoot Miguel at the end because her gun is supposed to be EMPTY! Small point, easy to overlook since, along with many who have written to this board, I enjoyed the movie.

the movies are great (first 2 really). i was thinking she got bullets when she hooked up with walter.

As regards Sue suddenly having ammo, she never reloaded Mick's gun. It stayed empty. Instead she used Jose's gun which Mick got when he nabbed him during the night. You can tell it's a different gun because Jose's has a large sniper scope on it, and Mick's doesn't.

He says "When we were children, did you chase a snake into the cane fields?" This is a reference to how sugarcane is harvested - when ready to harvest the field is set on fire to eliminate straw/leaves/debris making less work. Apparently these 2 would chase snakes into the field before setting it ablaze. Makes perfect sense when you consider Rico's point of view, he thinks they chased Mick into this field...and now they will set it on fire to get rid of him.

Thank you for letting people know, makes sense now. Still, these guys were still idiots. ha
