This did the bullet time thing first!


People have the misconception that "The Matrix" pioneered the bullet time effect that is so prevalent in the mainstream today when in actuality, this movie did it first. Obeserve the scene in which the disgruntled former Secret Service Agent tries to assassinate the First Son.

Damn right!

What's the spanish for drunken bum?

You're both morons who apparently don't know the difference between bullet time and a slow motion shot. Bullet time requires multiple cameras to achieve a 3-d effect, that is the definition of bullet time. First Kid has just a simple slow motion shot, as anyone who knows what the difference between the two can easily see.

Got owned? They were clearly joking.

My girlfriend and I were watching it last night and we pointed out the pseudo-bullet time they had in, as well as the virtual reality game he played.

Yep. This is the movie they got the idea for The Matrix from.

Yup, the wachowski brothers saw this movie and started penning the script for the Matrix.

I hear they're big Sinbad fans.

Everyone should be. He's funny, capable of so much more but he stuck to children's films in the 90's but he always brought spice to the films.
