    Something that seems to have been left out is the scene where Campbell is shot. From what it looks like, he is shot in the chest/just below the shoulder. Still, he still has the strength to dangle off the side of the apartment complex. Then after Segal kills the bad guy, he's just up and walking and talking like nothing happens, aside from having a now slightly bloodied shirt. But then when he's finally getting medical treatment he is strapped to a gurney like he can't walk anymore.

    One thing I'd like to point out from the movie: every time someone is going to kill Segal, they never take their chance. In the car ambush scene the Russians start a full on monologue for Segal. Why not just shoot him and end it all? Or when the fake internal affairs guys have him in the car, just kill him immediately, do you really have to drive him to a second location?

    On another note, near the end of the movie when they're in the apartment building and Keenen runs into those kids with the guns, and he makes a Sesame Street reference, something about Big Bird. Then in the very next scene Seagal walking past a garbage can outside the door, that is very much akin to something Oscar the Grouch would live in, was hilarious. This was my favorite low key joke of the movie.

    That is really funny now that I think about it, but I also truly believe no one on that set was smart enough to make that anything more than a coincidence.

     

    Another thing about that apartment building: it would seem abandoned as the gang mentioned except for when those two kids are in the hallway. That said, there was a massive gun fight in one apartment, wouldn't there be other tenant maybe poking their head out of their doors to see what's up? It's as if this apartment complex is abandoned except for two children who are the sole occupants.

     

    Edit: Oh, and there's an old lady in one apartment. One lady and two kids, the entire complex population.

    56 minutes until the phrase "Glimmer Man" is said, and then never again.

     

    I missed that, and by the end of the movie I was really frustrated that I had never even heard the phrase used.

     

    Does it ever rain this much in LA? Was this movie filmed during a Sharknado?

     

    It is raining non stop in this movie. In the beginning credits it was raining constantly and there was a few shots of palm trees, I thought the movie was taking place in Miami until about 20 minutes in.

    ANYWAY, fuck, and I mean FUCK this movie for having the balls to actually include scenes from 'Casablanca.'

     

    Which was absolutely bonkers because Casablanca didn't play into the actual plot of the movie in any way, just as a dumb "Haha! A man crying!" joke.

     

    Am I the only one who kinda thought this movie was just terrible terrible and not good terrible? And don't get me wrong, it definitely is a movie perfect for HDTGM and I can't wait for the episode. But when I was watching it last night in preparation I just kept getting bored and disinterested. There are a few good terrible scenes but for the most part it was difficult to push through this movie.

    Just one quick thing that was never discussed in this episode: Gymkata received an R rating. Yet this movie really doesn't seem to do anything to live up to that rating. I guess you could argue some scenes (VOCer cutting off his hand) could push it, but that doesn't seem R-worthy.

     

    And, in one scene, Cabot seems like he's about to say "Oh, shit." but censors himself with "Oh, shh..." Why???

    More Crazy: Cabot's Dad comes back from the dead for half a minute, then gets hit by an arrow... but maybe lives because we see him on a horse in the background for five seconds?

     

    I just finished watching the movie and I am still in a spiral over this. Why on Earth did they need to bring back Cabot's dad? He didn't serve the plot at all! So yeah, kill him off. But then that final scene of him just in the background, arrow in back, maybe alive? Why didn't they just close off his story by leaving him dead? Literally the most frustrating nonsense I have ever seen.
