20 things I learned from Hellrasier: Inferno.


These are listed in the order in which they appear in the film:

1. The best place to play a game of chess is on a basketball court.
2. Saliva makes eyebrow hairs stay in place.
3. When you are at a crime scene, the best way to secretly steal drugs is through the use of a sleight of hand magic trick.
4. You can cross out a dollar value on an official police document with an ink pen and nobody will question it.
5. Most marriages fail, so hire a prostitute.
6. When partaking in copulation with a prostitute, one can expect her to emit a bright almost blinding light from her body.
7. It is perfectly normal for a forty year old "MALE" cop to have a belly button piercing.
8. If you notice that someone's back tattoos are moving in a reflection, expect to hear "Stitch" from the movie "Lilo and Stitch" yelling Hey a couple of times.
8. Creepy ice cream truck drivers like to speak in rhymes to children.
9. When someone asks you to describe a hooker, all you have to say is that she has dark hair and a hot little body and the person will know the hooker of whom you speak.
10. When watching a tape where someone is being hit by a whip with hooks, you will only flinch during the first, second and fifth strikes.
11. Some people pay for ice cream cones with a $100 bill.
12. At "The Crossing" bar you cannot play poker unless you are wearing a cowboy hat.
13. When you are lost in the forest you can expect to see the silhouettes of ZZ Top walking towards you.
14. People can forget how to use guns.
15. Old men in wheelchairs laugh like little children.
16. If you see blood appear on bedsheets when a nurse pushes down on them, it is best to push as well to make sure more blood will appear.
17. Detectives get upset when their partner(who they just had a fistfight with and who they also tried to frame for murder a day earlier) gets killed.
18. When saving some already cut brownies to give to someone else, you must cut them again while they are stacked on a plate.
19. Some police detectives prefer to go fishing at night instead of playing a basketball game with their fellow officers.
20. Hellraiser: Inferno is a remake of Groundhog's Day.

Bravo!

The best is #20----I never thought of it until you said it, but this movie IS very similar to "Groundhog Day".

Not that much. The repeating thing only happens twice and isn't the main point of the movie. There's the bit with the nursing home and then near the end after he's torn apart. The ending was just a riff on A Christmas Carol most likely, where he's being led to believe that everything is ok and that he's getting a second chance now that he's seen the error of his ways.

Actually it IS a repeat of the same sequence of events. and it has been happening for quite a while. How do we know this?

1) The Child's finger is in the candle wax at the first murder scene. - if the solution is that they are the Cop's fingers as a youth representing his innocent soul, and the candle would have been empty.

2) the Story that the Psychiatrist tells the cop can only be about the cop himself, as the Bos in the photograph, was taken on the Cop's desk

It is more likely than not that he has been in that same loop for a long time at least it makes sense that way.

21. VHS tapes were not an urban myth.
22. You can point a shotgun at someone's groin and still hit them in the chest.
"Thank God I'm an atheist"

14. People can forget how to use guns.

I did laugh at that one. I kept thinking of Bruce Willis in "The Last Boyscout" - "point it at the bad guys and shoot!!"

you forgot
Nenonen is a palindrome

I was thinking of adding something like:

A guy named Nenonen can go 30+ years of his life without having ever even heard of the concept of a palindrome.
