Mike would make a great Foley artist.


It's his true calling.

I don't get it. Please elaborate or point out the obvious thing my dumb ass is missing.

A Foley artist is the person who creatively makes the sounds of things in movies, like creaking doors, footsteps on a wooden floor, smashing glass, etc.

Yeah, I know what a foley artist is. I have been well aware for over 25 years...
That explains nothing. You did not elaborate at all. All you did is tell me something I know all too well and that I could have just searched if I didn't.

What are you talking about? Why would Mike be a great foley artist? Explain what you mean and why...

I believe he's referencing the scene where Mike repairs the door in Chuck's house and he keeps his power tools running intermittently in order to not raise suspicion about his ulterior motives. But OP can correct me if I'm wrong.

reply

That was my take on OP's post, too. Mike standing behind the door jam hearing Chuck's footsteps coming to check on him, Mike squeezes the trigger, Chuck immediately does a cartoonish about-face.

Funny.

That, and when he tricks the truck smugglers by firing off shots, to sound like hunters.

The dude knows how to create a soundscape.
