h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Don't really know the answer to that one.

[drifting]
I didn't exactly remember what happened to mr. Pink (Buscemi) in RD, but this is a part of the script, courtesy of: http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/redriver/540/script.html

(Joe fires at Orange, Mr White shoots Joe. Eddie shoots Mr White. Mr White turns and shoots Joe. Eddie collapses, dead. Joe's dead. Mr White falls to the floor moaning. Mr. Pink comes out from his hiding place under the ramp, surveys the devastation, grabs the diamonds and exits.)

MR. PINK LEAVES WITH THE BAG O' DIAMONDS

>>SOUND - car door (Mr. Pink getting in a car) SOUND - engine (He has trouble getting it started)
SOUND - Engine starts, tires squeal (Off he goes!)
SOUND - More tire squealing, shots (Here come the cops!)
SOUND - Lots more tire squealing, sirens, and shots (Mr. Pink
probably puts up a fight)
Sometime during this shoot out, Mr. Pink's car apparently gets
stopped because the next thing we hear is cops, guns obviously
trained on him, shouting.
COP - "Get out of the car!"
COP - "Get your hands on the dash!"
COP - "Throw the gun out!"
The cops apparently don't have a real clear idea what they want him
to do, or in what order, but it sounds like they've got him. The
next line confirms this.
MR. PINK - "Don't shoot, I've been shot goddamnit!"
Oh no, not even the super-cool Mr. Pink gets through the movie
unscathed. Rest assured, though, his wound doesn't sound too bad.
In fact, he sounds more pissed off than wounded.
At this point, Mr. White's moaning over Mr. Orange's admission
completely obscures what's happening outside. After he quiets down
a bit, we can hear more...
COP - "Don't move!"
COP - "Don't f*****g move!"
The cops are still shouting, but they sound a little calmer, like
Mr. Pink is complying.
COP - "Are you a cop killer? Did you kill a cop?"
If they're asking him this, it's safe to say they've got him
unarmed, out of the car, and on the ground. The final bit of
dialogue caps it.
COP - "Get your hands behind your back!"
On go the cuffs, and poor Mr. Pink gets to take the rap for the
pile of bodies produced that afternoon.<<

So according to this account he's shot and arrested, but not killed.

[back to the question]

Thanks, mate. That definitely clears it up.

Although I can't feel but a little disappointed that Pink gets thrown into jail and not shot - the way he should go out of every single one of his flics (and that's a FAN! talking here).

Then again, he always tends to get away with just stiring up the s**t (rather than having to clear it up): e.g. in Desperado. Or in Big Daddy for that matter. And there he really should have been shot! Explain that to the toddler, Adam S.!!!

hmmmm indeed

is it Katharine Hepburn???

Sure is! Shucks, I was kinda hoping to be able to add, 'One of whom was also her off-screen husband as well!'

over to you Shrill,

complete stab in the dark, that one!

Okay, name the film(s)...

Seperated by 30 years, the original and the remake (surprisingly) were both good. What is real and what is not? Am I here, or am I not?

hmm the only remakes i can think of offhand that were both good would be dawn of the dead (the original is still best however)

Solaris?

planet of the apes.....hang on the original was crap.

Maybe Ocean's Eleven? (I never saw the original one, was it any good?)

Y.

Bubba Frett wins!

Your turn!

"Am I here? Or am I not?" - the theme to the movie...the whole, 'what is reality?' thing...love Tarkovsky.

Yelbakk - the original is really good. Worth the rental. You can't beat the original rat pack...

Kilroy - the original was crap??????? Are you serious? At least 1048602387509385907369827509871209704 times better than the 'Marky Mark' version!!!

Ok. Guess the film.

A film where the whoever did the casting should be shot for not having the slightest clue about geography as both the leads (accents at least) should have been swapped around. A film that tended to jump around a lot (sometimes hundreds of years at a time), it also produced arguably the best soundtrack ever.

Easy.

Total guess, but how about A Knight's Tale? Is that the one where there's all the deliberate anachronisms?

Dunno what's on the OST apart from some Queen... but worth a stab, I spose.

It's not "A Knights Tale", no but the band were right...

Ah, now i get the accent thing!

It's Highlander.

True, the soundtrack rocks!



Spiff

your turn!

Spot on Spliff.

IS SOMEBODY GOING TO START ANOTHER ROUND????
