poseidon death spoiler
so i'm sorta watching petersen's remake of the poseidon adventure, a movie that is campy cheesy horrific fun much like the towering inferno of the same decade. one of the many deaths post-wave has just occurred, and i have to post the ridiculousness of it. i will save the actors'/characters' names to not spoil it completely if you want to read one of the absurdities of the epic bomb that was poseidon.
oh man, and the thing that just happened - BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! wow, this is a baaaad movie!
so the elevator shaft becomes this huge obstacle. the beam used to cross conveniently loses it's screws before the final peeps cross, leaving one holding on to the other one's feet and the other one holding on to the ones safely on the other side.
something breaks up above - gas line - and the elevator sitting i dunno how many stories above them flames. the flames eat thru the cables as the struggling hanger-ons try to climb up, but of course they have nothing to hold onto.
you can't see the bottom of the shaft - it certainly looks nothing like the sea down there.
finally, b/c they can't hold on to both much longer and the elevator car is going to plunge, the first hanger-on is told to kick the second off.
"KICK HIM OFF! HE WON'T DIE!"
how do you figure? the cables break, the car plummets. the first hanger-on kicks at the second until he let's go.
dude falls with the flaming elevator car right above him and lands pierced thru the chest on some sharp pointy jagged metal protrusion.
the flaming cable car smashes him good if he hadn't already died from the fall and the massive chest wound.
oh, and that other thing that just happened - BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
wow, the digital water effects are as bad as the perfect storm! way to be consistent, wolfgang!
