Foaming at the mouth
I just finished watching this movie and I have to say I loved it. But I don't understand why Tok foamed at the mouth when he saw flashing lights? Is it a disease? Someone please help me figure this out.
Thanks
He suffered from photosensitive epilepsy...
I only just thought of this, it's weird that he was such a big fan of Metal Slug since TV's trigger seizures, and video games do as well, which is why all games come with warnings now... I guess he never actually says he plays it, he just based the warehouse set up on it... whatever... to me that would equal a fan...

In order for epilepsy of that form to be affected by TV screens, the sufferer would have to be severely afflicted and stare very closely at the screen. Granted, in the movie he seems to have quite a sensitive disposition, but he could lessen the dangers by keeping a distance from the set.
The flickering of strip lights as they fill your vision, whizzing trains only inches from your nose and hundreds of fireworks exploding around you are all far more likely to trigger an attack (although it would have taken some skill not to slump below the passing train).
"I first became aware of it Mandrake, during the physical act of love."
I think Tok has a death wish, knowing himself to be epileptic, he chooses a firework warehouse to be the final shoot out location...
shareNot so much a death wish, as he thinks he's invincible. I liked Tok's style, but I'm glad that O won in the end.

Honestly, I was a bit disappointed, would have loved the girl to go off with Tok! Great film though either way, Andy Lau slick as ever.
Nadine :)
