The Gargoyle Ass Slap


I can't believe the scene took place, but every time I rewind it, the head gargoyle slaps that other gargoyle's ass! *LOL*

I know! I just bought the movie (I haven't seen it since I was like 7) and hear an ass slap rewind the tape and there it is. I have to admit that made my day! LOL who would have guessed that gargoyles were into that?

Yes, but was it a female ass he slapped?

People misinterpret this all the time, and it's very obvious. The gargoyle whose ass was slapped affectionately was a female, and Bernie Casey's mate. She had a female voice. There was a tender gazing into each others eyes before the ass slap. He was reassuring her after she was exhibiting jealousy over his attention to Jennifer Salt. No idea if the gargoyles mate was played by a female. Under that heavy rubber costume, who knows? The gargoyle's mate character was the only other gargoyle who wore contact lenses for closeups.

“There was a tender gazing into each others eyes before the ass slap”

This tradition is customary in most cultures. 😀

Yes, apparently after he caught her ripping off the top of his new human girl friend, a slap on the ass is his way of saying "I still love you".

'Let's eat Grandma!' or, 'Let's eat, Grandma!' Punctuation saves lives. Use it. Save a life.

Lol, I laughed out loud when he did that!!

That was his Queen, his mate, and he had just shared a meaningful look with her. It was definitely a slap on the ass, not a pat on the rear. I always get a chuckle out of it.

I'd love to know if that was scripted or Bernie Casey ad-libbing some action which the director left in.
