Can I get a WTF on the implants?

So she comes all the way back to the camp where jennifers entire body has been eaten...evidenced by the bones/ribcage showing. But somehow she is still able to find her breast implants and create an intravenous drip of somesort? What??? The wolves don't eat breast implants? Can you even drink implants? Aren't they some kind of saline solution?

Besides that craziness and the fact that they didn't even try to pull the car out (hey that's 4 adults) or at the very least try to use the air conditioner, it was ok. And yeah, I didn't like laceys husband either. He had a creepy pedophile look to him. I don't know, he was just weird.

Just watched this. The breast implant is a saline solution which is why she used the drip. Not sure if that is entirely feasible. But anyway they did the stupids things people do in movies like this. Instead of going back the way they came - however far it was - they decide to shortcut across the desert. And while you can't eat cactus, I believe you can cut them open to drink the water out of them. Heck they could have pulled up some plants and probably found enough water to survive.
And that wolf- that would have made a nice dinner. Killing it might have been a problem, but they could have done it.
Oh well-

The wolf has to drink water right? why didn't they follow it.

[–] broncos24 14 years ago

I was thinking the same thing but then thought that would be almost impossible as the wolf would quickly lose them as they slowed from the heat plus the wolf was stalking them in hopes they would die so it can get to eat.

"Saline solution is just what she needed. When you sweat, you don't just lose water, you lose the salts that your body needs to keep functioning. I didn't like the movie, but it was nice to see one bit of creativity in it. Of course, I didn't expect the movie to be great; I just wanted to look at Lacey Chabert for an hour and a half."
I enjoyed the movie, but yeah, i saw it for the exact same reason. how often is she in a movie where she's in EVERY scene?
Even at the end when she was all covered in crud and dehydrated and her lips were chapped she was still beautiful...

Children of IMDB enjoy thinking they have a clue as to how American politics work.

Yes, it is entirely possible to use saline. In a normal, every day situation, no, you would not use saline - however, people who are dehydrated need not only water, but the salts that the body lets out when you sweat (hence why sweat is salty). Saline has all of these things in it.

I agree that it is kind of silly to think that a wolf didn't eat/try to eat the implant.

[–] projecthurley 15 years ago

I think the wolf tried to eat it, or something did, remember when she picked up the popped implant before finding the intact one

[–] savedby7grace 15 years ago

I kept thinking that they gave up way to easily on the vehicle. Trucks have been in a lot worse shape and still run.

[–] dwarol 13 years ago

Even if it ran, there was no way it was going to make it up that slope, 4WD or not.

[–] defjames 12 years ago

Right. That's why you roll it the rest of the way DOWN the slope, then drive PARALLEL to the road until it flattens out enough to drive it back on the road. Idiots.

[–] TrumpIsAHump 12 years ago

And how exactly would you do that? In case you didn't notice, the truck CRASHED into a rut (evidenced by the severely damaged front end, which probably also meant a no longer functioning engine). That's what stopped their downward motion. There was no slope for them to continue down. How exactly would you suggest they get the truck back onto a downward slope?

Not to mention the fact that in a longer shot in the middle of the film, they showed that forward of where the truck crashed was actually an UPHILL slope. So there literally would have been no way to get the truck onto a downward or even slope, no matter what they did.

Idiot.

The whole lets take a short cut through the desert was B/S
but I guess they needed to do this so some could lust over her.
She said it must be 80 miles back but that didn't mean they had to walk the whole 80 miles.
They may have walked 20 or 30 miles (the same way the came in) a got a single to call for help!!
Her and her husband were idiots going on this hunt for help,having no clue were they was going!!!

Bear Grylls ruined this movie for me, not that it was that great to begin with. The whole time I kept hearing him talk about building a fire, setting a trap for the wolf, digging for water, not burning your main shelter/supply source when you should have just burned the tire all by itself, etc. At least they saw the episode where he drank his own urine.

[–] supernova-8610 10 years ago

Except they chugged the urine down like candy when you're only supposed to take small sips of it..

My question is how feasible is it that the wolf was able to turn her into nothing but a skeleton that quickly?

[–] MzTaken 13 years ago

I doubt that the wolf was the only animal eating at her. She was fresh tasty meat.
But why in the world didn't they cook up the snake they killed and eat that?

I also didn't care for the "Captain Kirk"-like way that the "heroine" played the role. She was the only voice of reason?? She had the best solutions? I can't imagine men abiding her every command, completely following her lead.

[–] Burnsider 13 years ago

She was a doctor in training so they probably thought she was really smart which she was.

[–] rarmenio 13 years ago

wolves love silicone, they hate saline.

[–] Ace_Blazer 13 years ago

The problem wasn't hunger, it was thirst. In any case you need water to digest protein, so eating would make them even hungrier.

Also how are they supposed to cook the snake?
