Why did he kill the co-pilot????


He only kills about 3 people in this movie, when he should have killed about 15, but one of them is the co-pilot of the chartered flight for the bad guy. Why kill him?
I only watched this thing becuase Statham is cool....but I was sorely tempted after that stupid-as-all-hell part where he flips the car and the crane knocks the bomb off...jeeesus!

yeah, i noticed that too. i thought the co-pilot was completely innocent, no need to break his neck, or whatever he ended up doing.

reply

actually he kills 4

Max:Crushed to death
Dimitri:Stabbed in the neck with a gun barrel
Lola;Impaled on spikes
Co-Pilot:Neck broken

you're right he should have killed Gianni or at least his army

reply

but he SHOULDN'T have killed Gianni; remember Gianni injected all of the antidote of the virus in his body? without Gianni alive, there would be no cure.

You're forgetting the guy he kills with a freakin' scaffolding pole thrown like a damn javelin!

reply

The co-pilot might have shouted out a warning to the others on board. Better safe than sorry. Besides, he didn't kill "the others" because it would have interfered with the plot. Kind of like Star Trek. If a guy from "security with a red shirt" beams down to a planet's surface, you just know he going to get killed.

*beep* should have knocked out the co-pilot and save him after the plane crashed.killing him wasn't necessary .......period!!!

Everyone else has had more sex than me!!

reply

yeah save the pilot and let the cure drown in the water. That would be an excellent idea.

reply

put the swimsuit on the badguy , let him surface and then....take care of the co-pilot(pilot got shot , by the way!!!!!)

Collateral is my favourite movie and through a small coincidence, Statham was in it as the 'Airport Man'. It's a coincidence because I generally follow Vincent's (played by Tom Cruise) irony, like how he says,'No, I shot him. Bullets and the fall, killed him,' and I am going to apply it to a post here.

Max: Crushed to death
Frank put Max's head through a window; the crush killed him.

Dimitri: Stabbed in the neck with a gun barrel
Martin stabbed him; the gun barrel, wound and blood loss killed him, followed by the impact of falling over.

Lola: Impaled on spikes
Frank kicked her. Blood loss and body damage killed her.

Co-Pilot: Neck broken
He broke his neck. Lack of air to the brain killed him.

Just felt like presenting it, you know.

reply

Yeah,base on his good moral value of avoiding in killing people.That act is quite questionable.

reply

What about towards the end, after he puts 4 people in the container he impales someone with the pole? And I don't remember the Max - crushed one, when does this happen?

reply

I don't know the names of the lesser characters, but I'm thinking that was the dreadlocked dude whose face was shoved through the boat window while the boat toppled over in the warehouse.

Obviously the co-pilot was more than just a pilot, why would you send just some innocent random guy to check out a possible intruder? He was a henchman, and btw he does impale someone with a pole

reply

Because by that point he was pissed off... He had been beaten up, shot at and had just had to blow up a fairly nice lambourghini... he was craving a cigarette and you can't smoke on airplanes now you know... so he had to take out his frustration somehow...

reply

The co-pilot wasnt sent to look for an intruder he was sent to raise the landing gear manually

reply

"The co-pilot wasnt sent to look for an intruder he was sent to raise the landing gear manually"

Do you think this is what he would have thought when he saw Martin hiding there? "Hey, This is none of my business. I was sent to raise the landing gear. Intruders are not my job."

reply

Obviously, because he was an Evil co-pilot.

Anyway, didn't you guys ever see "Clerks"? It's just like those independent contractors working on the second Death Star when it got blown up; if you're a pilot flying a high-level crook to Colombia on a private jet, you should kind of expect stuff to happen.

Because everyone knows in corporate aviation, the co-pilot is just an underpaid seat-warmer. Gear up - shut up!

absolutely right
