Was anyone else profoundly annoyed whenver the Martian leader "spoke"? I mean, I don't care how the "language" sounds, nor what he was saying, but couldn't Carpenter have done a bit more than have the actor repeat what to me sounded like the same damn word a hundred of times?
shareI didn't have time to notice because everytime he spoke it gave me horrible chills up my spine. It was incredibly convincing and powerful.
shareJust caught this movie on cable again after seeing it once a long time ago, and YES!
It sounded to me like the guy just kept saying "Blahblahblah! Blahblahblahblahblah! Blahblahblahblah!"
I heard variations of "Glalalala!", "Blalalalala!", "Malalala!", etc.
sharelol I thought it was raah raaaah raaaah
shareAh hah!
At long last the source of WoW's murloc voices!
Definitely one of the funniest parts of this movie. I read in another post that the actor "improvised" the language. I don't see how anyone on the set could possibly have kept a straight face when that guy randomly started grrrrblahblahblah'ing all over the place!

The Martian language seemed the one weak link in the movie. It was apparent the possessed Martians were just yelling out gibberish. While viewing it I mentally decided that the spirits were attempting to get used to using the host's vocal chord muscles and that was the result.

I also agree. Whatever the leader was speaking sounded like more gibberish than a language.

Yea, I had a similar feeling as well. That or human vocal chords could just not produce the Martian language, so they were S.O.L trying to communicate. I agree that it just seemed like gibberish and came off as rather ridiculous when Big Daddy Mars was looking all badass yet sounding like a toddler.

I remember renting the movie on VHS in December 2001, a few months after it appeared in video stores (July), and when I saw the scene I was like 'What the f*ck?!?'... I barely held myself from bursting out laughing loudly, the speech sounded like 'Haraawe Seinar! Mortha'gaa Heinaekaar Jaah!' sounding like an angry 6-year old speaking those words... Ridiculous to the bone!
