The breathing game

Every time I watch this film I have to join in the scene where Leone goes in the de-lousing chamber and holds his breath. It's the same for any film where a character holds their breath for long periods, I have to try and beat them lol!

I thought I was the only one who did that

I do it too. Usually I win. Not to brag.

Fatties can do long without breath (without moving, of course) because of their nightly apnea.
Brag all you like, it's all you have.

I love underwater swimming sequences in movies, where you get characters who you know have rarely been near the ocean in their screen lives, yet when called upon, can suddenly hold their breath for 3+ minutes.🐭

I can't believe other people do this! I do it every time on this movie. I do it when I watch The Abyss too.
