So what if the neighbour got pregnant?


If the neighbour he raped got pregnant, what then? Would the baby be invisible? I mean the sperm would be invisible after all so it stands to reason.

Would love to see how that would have gone down at the birth.

That would of been a hilarious plot twist LOL

I always thought that

Good point. The invisible potion clearly changed the DNA as well, only way it could've altered him to become invisible.

That'd be so weird. See yourself pregnant but go in for an ultrasound and they see nothing? And then the birth WTF! Would be amazing for science since you could see everything going on up in there LOL.

Dude that's f'd up!

reply

Wow. She would 'be' pregnant, have the symptoms of being pregnant (big belly, going through labor at 9 months). It'd be crazy.

Once born, there'd be crying, but no visible body. Spooky.

When we're thinking about our own brain, would that be a mental paradox??

Now THAT is what the sequel should've been about!

Ahhh... but the baby would only be half of Sebastians DNA, so the darlin' little tot would look more like this:

or later on

OR maybe the baby would be stuck half way and all you would see is a baby skeleton with a circulatory system, a lot of screaming in that birthing room I'd guess

reply

I don't think he left her alive.

reply

She was alive when he left her - bruised and sobbing but alive.

Plus, Sebastian hadn’t progressed to outright murder yet

reply

Is there a director's cut out there? My copy has him playing with the mirror, then attacking Rhona Mitra and throwing her on the bed. Then next scene cuts to Elizabeth Shue driving to his apartment. She's not seen again in the movie.

reply

In the directors cut it is revealed that he left her alive. It was because verhoeven thought at that point in the film it was too early for Sebastian to start killing.

reply

Yea she was crying on the bed. He wouldn't have much use in killing her as she coulen't see him to identify him.

reply

Haven't seen that version.

reply

Not sure if it's a director's cut or just an extended deleted scene, but you're right ... it's not in the theatrical version.

We see her get grabbed, and we don't see Sebastian again until he washes his face in the sink. We don't see her crying on the bed.

I also noticed one freaky bit - the camera (showing Sebastian's POV) moves around behind her, yet we see nothing in the mirror. Very jarring to an experienced movie goer.

Normally, invisible man / vampire mirror shots are done with odd angles to hide the camera, but this was apparently accomplished with the cameraman and camera covered with the same green lycra that Kevin Bacon wore throughout the shoot.

reply

I forget the mechanics of how the invisibility works. Was it genetic? In fact about the only thing I remember about this film was Rhona Mitra's scene. Oh yea and the shock of the poor dog getting killed in its cage.

reply

They were creating an invisibility formula and he convinced his team to use him as the first human test subject.

reply

Right I remember that but i don't recall how the invisibility worked via checmicals or gentic alteration(Which is over used in movies). Unless the invisibility was genetic a child woulden't be invisible.

reply

You're right. If it was only a physical change then he couldn't pass it on.
