Watched The Rock last night. The scenes where Nick Cages character has to dive on the ground to save one of those vx gas balls from rolling off the edge of the light house, then he gets shot at by the sniper on the rooftop, he delicately puts the rest of the whole strand in a vent on the floor but takes the single, disconnected vx ball with him? And he puts it in the front pocket of his vest?! After getting the crap beat out of him and thrown through a window, he uses the intact, undamaged gas ball to gain the upper hand on that psychotic marine ( shoving it in his mouth and punching him in the face), the he runs to the end of the room, maybe 50 feet, and stabs his heart with atrophine? without his skin melting off??
Why take the deadly, fragile glass ball of death with him? Sure, take the navigation chip with you, Stan. Leave the vx ball with the rest of them, ok? And since when does atrophine make you invincible to corrosive, lab suit melting gas vapors? The lazy ass writers in this classic action movie almost ruin it for me. Almost.
I bumped this thread because it is a classic.
