"Billy!" "Dad! Help me!"
Repeat ten times, this is basically the opening scene. These movies are meant to be cheesy, I know, but did anyone think that part was complete dialogue overkill?
No
If it were you, the creeper was dragging, would you call your mommy a 100x
I have to agree. That dialog almost ruined the scene.
shareSaw it for the first time last night and had to laugh at this part, which I doubt was the pedirector's intent. A transcription for gits & shiggles:(and Dad/Jack shouts nothing but "Billy!" seven times in a row.---(Dad and other son see Billy's struggle.)DAD: Billy!(Dog barks over and over that sounds like it's the same recording of one bark repeated many times)DAD: Were are you? Billy!BILLY: Daddy!DAD: Billy!BILLY: Let me go! Help me, Dad!DAD: Billy!BILLY: Help! Help! Help! Dad, help!DAD: Billy!BILLY: Help! Help me! Dad!DAD: Billy!BILLY: Dad! Let go!DAD: Billy!BILLY; Daddy!DAD: Billy!(Creeper flies away with Billy)BILLY: Help! Help Dad! Help! Help!(Dog barks) ---It wants no straps. - Karlhttp://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000024/nest/158601447
shareThat really did kill me, it was just so repetitive. Meanwhile, Dad does nothing with the rifle in his hand. If he had shown in that moment the same proficiency he did later on with makeshift harpoons, he would have saved himself a hell of a lot of bother later on!
Otherwise, thoroughly enjoyable movie.
