The Legendary Bar Scene


Why can't they do this in Every Vampire Movie?

No matter how "Sparkly" and "Nice" your friendly neighborhood Vampire is, THIS scene should be shown to show how Vampires are when they are walking the "bad Lands", you know.

Since they live forever and have been around here forever, why not show their "Dysfunctional Adolesnece" period.


WHY NOT!

I agree.

Diamond self serving a mug of Blood was hardcore.

A tour de force of black-comic sadism and gore.

I always feel sorry for that stuntman who's yanked backward and hits the pool table wrong. Looks like his backbone hits the edge of it pretty hard.

I always think that too. :p It made for a more brutal shot, though. I'm always like ooooh, that must have hurt.

This ain't my first tea party...

Yeah. Loved the bar scene! Never seen anything like it. Bill Paxton is just awesome. Looks and kind of acts -- in this movie -- like a young Jack Nicholson.

The bar scene does not feel right. Nobody says anything after Diamond slits the girl's throat.

Shock, my friend.

Shock.

Try cutting someone's throat in a bar.

Casually.

Who needs words when the King of Country's playing but I do believe the Girl ask for a Dance.

Man, what a standout scene. It's easily one of the best scenes in any vampire film ever made.



Hey there, Johnny Boy, I hope you fry!

The best part is spotting the ‘you forgot to say please’ biker from T2.

Poor bloke’s always trying to wind down with a beer after a hard day’s biking and some unstoppable inhuman tosser walks in and beats the shit out him.
