How would you sum up your reaction to bank scene shooting?

In three words, mine would be:

HOLY!
F--KING!
SH-T!

"Major, right now you've got me as confused as I ever hope to be."

It was in the first 5 minutes, wasn't it?

Yeah, it is pretty much the first major scene in the movie.

"Major, right now you've got me as confused as I ever hope to be."

Kind of stupid for someone to say "this is moving slowly" not even five minutes into the film.

I remember talking about the bank scene on AIM with a friend. It went something like this:

Me: "... great atmosphere though. thought it was good except the stupid Tarantino shoot-out at the beginning"

Friend: "rofl yes. random sh!tty like... gore"

"I've been living on toxic waste for years, and I'm fine. Just ask my other heads!"

Oh please, it was such over the top CGI, I had no reaction to it at all, except a big yawn.

[–] TheIcon2 16 years ago

I wouldn't say this was over the top CGI. Over the top CGI is Indiana Jones latest movie. That is over the top CGI.

[–] lastmidnite2 16 years ago

Very true. But check out The Wild Bunch from 1969. Another film that begins with a graphically violent bank massacre. There was no CGI back then, but the scene is so much more effective.

It was utterly stupid.

There were NO revolvers from the Civil War era that could decapitate a man.

I found that scene to be quite startling.

I was like "Hahahaha awww mannnn... hahaha" and then I rolled my eyes.

I got the crazies.

[–] Strazdamonas 15 years ago

un expected. i expected there to be a shootout, but to kill everyone in 3 seconds is just really short-cut.

Ya, unexpected/shocking and makes me never want to do business inside of a bank again in my life.

"There were NO revolvers from the Civil War era that could decapitate a man."

but there definitely WERE satanic cults turning people into deformed, naked, four-legged pig-beasts.

It was unexpected and the effects weren't all that special.

I also found myself not caring about any of the main characters and in fact feeling they got what was coming.

[–] keirmartin 13 years ago

It made me think all the main characters were unsympathetic *beep* watching it right now and I haven't got that far in so yeah...we'll see.

I knew right off from second group saying they needed to enter the bank that there would be a shootout/robbery (I've seen a bunch of westerns after all). But the woman being part of the gang did surprise me.

So yeah, the scene was alright. The blood splashes looked like CGI which hurt it a tad.
