or FRWL, more likely.
I think their will be a simple dedication on the end credits personally?
Don't forget Gobinda!!!
But the damn thing caught fire, probably because someone was cooking, and there we were evacuated in the desert when the train just suddenly started off again.
As for Dave Bautista i think he had a rather decent performance, in fact better then i expected and made me more confidente regarding the role of Mr. Hinx.
Do hope to have a serious competitor for GrantVsBond (a la FRWL) train fight as one of the best hand to hand fights of the franchise.
The men does look menacing.
Not nearly as good as fights. They couldn't do much with Moore at the time, of course, and I loved the fight, but nothing so far as topped Bond vs Grant. Not only in the Bond franchise, but in action movies in general.
Like many people I wasn't entirely sure he was dead and kept expecting him to reappear. When Mallory's car was rammed in the tunnel I thought Hinx was going to be one of the heavies stepping out of the other vehicle.
Without spoiling much where do we rank him on the henchman list?
Best of the Craig era? Tough to beat Elvis but I think he just managed it.
Better than anyone in Brosnan's era? I would say so as they are all too cartoony.
Better than Dalts ever had? Necros is decent so I'm torn there but he's certainly better than Dario.
Rog? Well Jaws still a legend despite all the skydiving/ Dolly bullshit. Better than Nick Nack, Tee Hee, Kriegler, possibly Gobinda (who I like a lot) and May Day.
Laz? Hinx beats Grunther fairly comfortably.
Sean? Well not as good as Grant or Oddjob clearly but better than Vargas and Hans. Not as much fun as Wint & Kidd but much more menacing.
So looking at that I'd say comfortably top 10, on a good day top 5 for Mt Hinx so very respectable.
However his role in the film is fairly limited, he is not introduced by name and he doesn't really talk, which is a shame.
The fight on the train is outstanding.
A quick google gives this:
To break the neck of a human, 1,000 to 1,250 foot-pounds of torque is considered sufficient. When hanging someone, a typical drop of 5 to 9 feet is enough to generate the force required to break the neck when the person hits the end of the rope.
A foot-pound of torque is 1 pound of force applied at a distance of 1 foot. Therefore, applying 200 pounds of force on a 1-foot-long wrench generates 200 foot-pounds of torque. Applying 100 pounds of force on a 2-foot-long wrench also generates 200 foot-pounds of torque.
Most broken necks are the result of severe trauma, such as car crashes or falls during sports such as skiing.
Assuming the barrels are empty they still represent a significant weight (full and they will be way over 200lbs) and the rope seemed to me to be at least 5 feet (although given he is a big man with tough neck muscles he would probably need the full 9 feet) so I would guesstimate that the first jerk that pulls him out of the train might well be enough. Remember that filming the MR PTS they had to use special slow deploying parachutes because they extra weight of a small camera on their helmet coupled with the jerk of the opening chute would have broken their necks.
I could just about suspend my disbelief that Hinx could survive I suppose but I wouldnt be happy with it. If they wanted him to potentially survive then they shouldnt have attached the barrels and just booted him out of the train. Although that would have been a crap death to be fair.
Lets remember as well that he has at least one bullet in him so even if he survives the barrels and the fall he is in the middle of the desert with no medical attention and a hole in him.
I wouldnt like to try to survive it personally. I think Sciarra has as much chance of being alive given the low altitude and softish landing of the crowd below.
If you record last night's football and you don't want to know the result, you don't go out and buy a newspaper and turn straight to the back page...
