Why'd they make Rusty Nail a fat weakling


When he was strangling Fuller through the Motel window he was clearly seen as an overweight weakling. How the *beep* could they ruin this dude with just a few seconds :D

We expect him to put that big *beep* from the original Hotel in the hospital like that without a weapon?

They should've had someone more menacing looking or not shown him at all.

Rusty Nail would get his ass clapped if he tried coming at me sideways and I haven't exercised in years (not that physical form means all in fights, it doesn't mean much in an impulsive fight).

A bright light can hollow the deepest of nothingness.

Did u watch the movie all the way? That wasn't Rusty Nail that was trying to strangle Fuller in the Motel. It was some different trucker. How do I know? Because when they are in the ambulance Rusty Nail started speaking again on the CB radio. Rusty Nail was never shown in the movie at all.

NO NO... That was Rusty Nail... the guy in the Truck that crashed in the motel was the dead guy from the Ice truck earlier in the movie.

^This.

Correct. It's so weird they didn't just use Ted Levine for the physical actor when he's already doing the voice.
