The final battle scene...


Am I the only one that saw the friggin axe on the wall? What the hell is wrong with these people. Perfectly good axe right there and dude goes with fire extinguisher and throwing some bottles as his weapons of choice. He deserved to die. As did that idiot woman and her screaming brat child.

Yeah I just saw this movie and was thinking the same thing. Had to come here to complain and saw your post.

And it didn't seem to matter how loud I yelled "USE THE AXE", the guy still went with the extinguisher.

Seven out of six people do not understand fractions.

I also noticed the axe. I figured hacking it's "tail" off would be a better distraction. At any rate, my 6-year old didn't notice the axe. But, when the fire extinguisher was used, he burst out laughing and said, "What does he think THAT'S gonna do?!" He laughed for the remainder of the scene. And, yes, my 6-year old enjoys seeing lame monsters from 1930-1960.

50's women were supposed to be helpless and stupid. Cower and wait to die and hope a big strong man will save you from the slow moving creature that we've seen previously thwarted by a fricken sharp stick!

LOL! I kept saying "there's an axe on the wall behind you!" It was so prominent, like they were calling attention to it, and yet Twill takes the fire extinguisher that's hanging right next to it. Seems the set designer had never heard of Chekhov's gun.

Possibly the fire extinguisher was a case of Product Placement.

Especially the little brat. How many times was she told not to go into the lab but the little brat went in anyway and turned the heat up. Her fault the little bunnies died. They should have locked her in the room and get eaten. A lesson to all unruly brats out there in 50s SciFi movies. Do what you are told... OR ELSE.

Just like the little *beep* in The Blob. Going out of the house after he was told to stay home and then running in the diner after his cap gun ran out of caps. Nice throw though. But again. His fault they all got trapped in the basement. Bad boys in trap door pajamas. BAD. But a lesson to be learned here. Always, when shooting caps at monsters and running out, always, I repeat, always, throw your empty cap pistol at the monster. It will duck and you can get away.
