What was Bruce eating in the cemetary?


He was roasting some sort of creature on a stick. I always wanted to know what it was

reply

On the DVD commentary Bey Logan says "it's meant to be a dog, but it's actually a rabbit."

reply

Hmmmm, meant to be a dog. I always thought it was a squirrel. That's neat to know.

Dalton and Craig! Accept NO substitutes!

reply

you know that steriotype that chinese eat dogs and cats, he could be in a pet cemetary

reply

Nope, he couldn't be in pet cemetary! For chinese dogs ar food, not pets, don't you remember? He would be eating octopus or something, if it was pet cemetary.

reply

So if it was a human cemetary, it would mean that.....

reply

It looked like a rabbit or squirrel. Don't think there are squirrels in Shang-Hai though.

reply

I thought it was a rat...

reply

It was a rabbit.

reply

You couldn't tell if it was rabbit or cat :)

reply

I always thought it was a bat.

"Wait a minute, I know what my fortune is, it's partying!"

reply

How did you come to that conclusion?

Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt

reply

I don't know, a cemetary, at night, wouldn't probably be many rabbits or other animals around. Bats are out at night so I came to the conclusion it probably was a bat.

"Wait a minute, I know what my fortune is, it's partying!"

+1
A goddamn BAT!! the vampirish wings r pretty visible.

reply

If it really was a cat, I'm just gonna puke my heart out after this. :-P

reply

LOL @ pet cemetary.

Actually it was roasted cat.

It LOOKED like a dog!

reply

it says in a book ive got that its a cat

reply

I'm sure you're right, but it always looked like a lizard to me. I always thought cat meat was toxic to humans.

reply

It's the Monitor lizard.

I don't know if i got the name correct. It's the same kind of reptile which is known for it's strong grip. Once it catches something it will be very difficult to make them loosen their grip.

reply

Thank you. I looked it up on the Internet and saw a picture of a live one. It matches what he was eating. Frankly, after eating that the police bullets must have felt good.

reply

I think at that point he couldn't care less what he ate as he was so starved....lol ;)

reply

According to Black Belt magazine, it is a cooked dog. They further offer the theory that its the dog the highbrow lady brought to the park that refused to admit dogs and Chinese. (highly unlikely, and way too inappropriate for a hero).

reply


You are all wrong, its clearly visable that it was a giraffe.

Yup , could very well be a dog....eating dog is common in Chinese countryside.

reply

It's actually Ratovan. Which is Rat that has been run over by a van.

You are entitled to my opinion, whether you want it or not!!

reply

I assumed it was meant to be a small dog, maybe that dog that was allowed into the park when Chen was refused entry for being Chinese.
