Things I learned from The Invisible Man

1. Being invisible makes you supernaturally strong.
2. When surprised, a person can put a knife in your hand and do what they want with your arm (hold up high or slash)
3. You can wash paint off a complex, multifaceted suit in the kitchen sink in 15 seconds.
4. A person who was 6 feet away from you and is still 6 feet away from you after you are mysteriously struck absolutely MUST have been able to violate the laws of the universe and hit you.
5. If your sister has you pick her up all secret style in the middle of the night, be casual and ask a bunch of questions before driving off while she pleads with you to GO GO GO while obviously distressed.
6. If you see your fellow police officers being jacked up by some unknown force, point your gun and make demands of the frail girl on the ground 20 feet further down the hall.
7. When running from an invisible person, you can relax after a few blocks because no way they followed you that far.
8. If you wake up to the sound of your car alarm and your captive gf isn't next to you, sprint directly in the direction she took to scale a wall and run down the path through the woods that she took. You'll know.
9. If you can't see your opponent, you can't wrestle them when they are touching you. You just have to let them manipulate you.
10. Your sister will not recognize a sudden, tonally inconsistent, hate email as suspicious and will throw away a lifetime of familiarity in favor of utter rejection.
11. When in breach of a pre-agreed protocol made to protect the mental and physical well being of your sister to tell her it isn't needed anymore, don't lead with that info. Let her freak out while you demand to be listened to and other emotional posturing first.
12. You should allow someone not involved in the will reading at all to refuse part of the process to be heard on your behalf.
13. You can put on a technologically sophisticated suit, run out quietly, force a guy to slit his throat, get back to the restroom, change back into your dress, fix your hair, and stroll back into the room in exactly one minute.
14. It's not worse than the last three Star Wars movies.

15. There are no security cameras anywhere but Adrian's home.
16. When you have the power of invisibility, you will use it to bedevil the girl who rejected you instead of the one million things an ego-maniacal criminal would do.
17. If you fake your own death, your lawyer brother will help take measures to assure a child is born to you and an agreement that will expose you and your brother to insane legal fraud allegations happens.
18. Your brother has access to an invisible suit and does not go out on his own to do whatever he wants. Nope. He is that loyal. He will kill for you. Anything. But absolutely not use the suit for his own desires.
19. Don't ever try to prove there's an invisible guy in the same room as you. Just talk about it. Don't stab around the room with doors closed, etc. They will think you are insane either way so why try.
20. If your gf whom you have tortured and deceived comes to your terms and joins you for dinner, you can absolutely trust her even if she cannot act for shit.
21. If said gf says she will come back to you if you will simply admit to the crimes you committed, it is legit. It is in no way a classic, F-grade portrayal of "I'm wired." Nothing to be suspicious of at all.

22. If you are a tech genius, once you build a perfect working prototype of an invisibility suit, keep it secret behind a single layer security control such as a 6 digit numeric password and pick an important date from your life as the password such as the day you met your girlfriend.

23. An invisibility suit would give you extreme strength and would perfectly noise cancel every sound you make such as footsteps and screams but would not let you get away from being sniffed out by a dog.

lol, nice!

22b. ... and keep it in a transparent case in a large room that doesn't need a passcode to enter.

24. The best place to hide a military-grade technology worth millions of dollars is in a closet. It won't be found even if the closet is bang in the middle of a high profile crime scene. Hell, even the owner of the house won't bother to look for it once he realises that one of his only two prototypes is missing.

24b and he Defs won’t look in there even though he knows the person who took it went in there after getting the suit and ran either into yourself or your brother. But yeah nah you’ll never look in there and it’ll still be in there after everything so your ex can use it to slit your throat.

25. It's hard to talk in an invisible suit. So don't.

I was coming here to point out a few of these things too

26. When you find your dead husband's phone with a photo of you sleeping next to your friend's daughter on it, you don't keep it even if it's the proof that your husband is still alive and stalking you.

27. Once the cops are aware that there is such a thing as an invisible suit, they don't seize the second suit that is in the husband's house which is a crime scene.

28. The skin tight invisible suit can be taken off in a matter of seconds and leave your hair and make-up pristine.

29. Invisibility suits do not make plot holes invisible.

>1. Being invisible makes you supernaturally strong.

the guy was supernaturally strong to begin with. he punched a car window with bare fist. This kind of thing would break all the bones in your fist and would make you end up in ER.

[–] AnubisRaydeen (7897) 4 years ago

This is worth a numbered entry.

30. Car windows can easily be punched out with your bare hand with no damage to you.

To be fair, it must have. In the end, she is slicing her husbands throat and he even tries to fight it, but loses. The girl might be not totally weak, but I doubt, that she would be so easily get away with him sliced up, if she wouldn't have superpowers. It looks like she holds his other hand down (or sit on it?) and overwhelmed him. I would assume that her husband would be able to give her a bigger fight. As he is fully aware of the invisible suit, he would have not long enough shocked, to be overwhelmed for such a nice cut.

Yeah, #5 was annoying AF.

This kind of thing always happens in movies, btw.

As for #12, I thought the sister might be a lawyer, so she was representing Cee. I mean, the movie was very scant on any kind of background information about any of the characters.

31. A policeman will let you sleep with his teenage daughter even if you are being stalked, and/or if you believe your dead bf is alive and invisible.

32. If you get powerfully smacked to the ground out of nowhere, instantly assume it is the female friend of your dad's who has shown nothing but TLC for you and who wasn't even in reach of smacking you.

33. Once you've discovered that your ex is invisible and is hanging around in the house, don't bother obtaining some spray or water pistol, bottle of water or anything that you could carry around and quickly use to show him up when you figure he's close by.
