| 802239 | 2009-08-18 13:29:00 | home.nzcity.co.nz I know that I can wear a blue suit with a red cape and of course I would be bullet proof. How do I know this? I read it in a comic once. The roadrunner beat the coyote every time but the coyote survived to be in the next episode. If I take all the westerns I have seen there not would be an american red indian alive today. Six guns used to hold more bullets than they do today. Ever seen John Wayne (Marion) stop to reload? |

| 802240 | 2009-08-18 15:30:00 | The scenes that amaze me are where someone gets thrown down stairs or off a balcony, or has a piece of furniture smashed over their head, and then gets up and goes on fighting. Also notice that what ever he does or what ever happens to him the hero's hat seldom gets dislodged. Equally jumping off a balcony or roof straight into the saddle and galloping off stretches the credibility a bit far - if one didn't maim the horse, then the damage done to the family jewels would almost certainly kill all interest in going for a brisk cross country horse ride. |

| 802241 | 2009-08-18 23:38:00 | Remember the serials at the movies? In the car chases there was an amazing amount of squealing from the tyres as cars cornered at high speed (and remarkably flat angles) on dirt roads? And a cliff-hangar at the end of the reel, invariably. It was usually a lot better produced than the movietone news. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

And a cliff-hangar at the end of the reel, invariably. It was usually a lot better produced than the movietone news. Yes but they always cheated in the cliffhangers. The hero, Flash Gordon or Tarzan, or whoever, would be seen falling into a pit with spikes at the bottom. The film would end with the hero about six inches above the spikes, just about to be impaled and finished off for ever. Then next week the film would start and take up at a completely diiferent position with the hero clinging desperately to the top of the pit, and then with a bound he was free :clap |

If petrol is so good at exploding why doesnt the army use petrol to blow things up with instead of C4 and jelly. I once proceeded on my way to work one day around 4:00 or 5:00 am in Sydney, Australia. The road was closed because people were making a movie and using some sort of explosive on a car. C4 works and I would prefer to use Gelignite or TNT slabs whith cordtex. Cordtex detonates at around 3000 metres per second. The jelly I make does not normally explode but it tastes nice. |
