Do they think we're all stupid..?

*****Spoilers******

Do the producers and writers believe that all people are so stupid to the point that they would believe that the people in these films are all going to be complete inept morons????

1. Why didnt the hooker just raise her head up??? The killers truck didn't lose the side mirror, so its obvious all she had to do was raise up her head.

2. Throwing the cell phones under the car tire. How does the Killer know they all have a cell phone??? And even if they did, how is he going to know that they didn't put a ipod or maybe a wallet down in place of thier phone? Plus, just put the phones on the inside of the tire.

3. How is it that the killer is able to know EVERY move and conversation that they make..? I mean come on,this guy isn't James Bond, I don't think he attended some school on espionage and counter-insurgency.

Why why why do the victims NEVER EVER finish off the killer when they have them down??? Why didn't the blonde girl just administer the coup de gras after she knocked this moron down? Hadn't this killer just
A. Kidnapped and tortured her boyfriend
B. Humiliated and terrorized her and her companions
C. Murdered her sister
D. Murdered sisters boyfriend
And after all of that the girl has a chance to finish this vocally impaired jackass off and she just knocks him out!

4. Why in the hell did this chic kick over killers wallet???? Why not keep it and see if there was any identification or info that might have helped any law enforcement agencies.

5. Killer is able to survive 500 foot fiery crash onto canyon floor and escape with only burns......PLEEEEEEASE.

100% percent correct on all accounts. Also when she strips in front of the other trucker why did he not get out to hit on her? He waited till she got right up to the truck. And how did she know right away it wasn't the killer. Also the trucker claims the killer told him to go there and see a strip show over the cb, well wouldn't they have heard that come over the CB radio too?, and how did he get her boyfriends finger in the glove box without her seeing, for christ sake how is he gonna hide a 60 foot truck and get in and out of there so fast...This movie was very poorly written..How did he know what the finger they had looked like without seeing it? How did he get a new truck so fast to pick the girl up at the end, and there was no police investigation on his crashed truck and car with a girls dead body in the car? I could go on and on with this piece of *beep* movie. I can't believe I wasted the time to watch it. I'm glad it was for free.

First off let me say that I also believe the original poster is 100% correct on all accounts. You bengals_233 on the other hand, well...

"Also when she strips in front of the other trucker why did he not get out to hit on her? He waited till she got right up to the truck."

- He was busy playing with himself while recording Melissa's striptease with the webcam. You could see how he pulled up and zipped his trousers while opening the door to talk to her.

"And how did she know right away it wasn't the killer."

- His voice was rather high pitched compared to Rusty Nail's. His appearance and nervously behaviour was not exactly those of an ice cold killer either.

"Also the trucker claims the killer told him to go there and see a strip show over the cb, well wouldn't they have heard that come over the CB radio too?,"

- I am not familiar with CB radios but imagine there are different frequencies and a limited distance range you have to be within in order to catch messages from other drivers?

"and how did he get her boyfriends finger in the glove box without her seeing, for christ sake how is he gonna hide a 60 foot truck and get in and out of there so fast..."

- Rusty Nail's truck was parked somewhere in the Little Sahara gravel pit where he could observe without being seen. His long silver colored trailer was parked somewhere else, in the next scene you see him drive away with just the black truck. It was easy for Rusty Nail to sneak up to the car and put Bobby's finger in the glove compartment, while Melissa was stripping and dealing with the boob crazed trucker.

"This movie was very poorly written..How did he know what the finger they had looked like without seeing it?"

- He watched them outside the funeral parlor and saw Kayla come out with the stiff's finger in a towel. Considering his hobby it is also safe to presume that Rusty Nail must be very familiar with the looks of different decomposing body parts.

"How did he get a new truck so fast to pick the girl up at the end,"

- There is nothing that tells us how long time had passed after the crash up until that last scene with a girl in a Mustang. As for getting a new truck he probably just killed another trucker at a truck stop, took his truck, drove away and disposed of the body later thus assuming a new identity.

"and there was no police investigation on his crashed truck and car with a girls dead body in the car?"

- There probably was a police investigation when Kayla and the exploded Chevelle were found. Melissa being her sister was questioned and told the police everything about Rusty Nail and his house. When they examined the truck at the bottom of the canyon they couldn't find his corpse and thought it had been dragged away by coyotes hungry for roast beef. Or they simply concluded that Rusty Nail somehow survived the fall, fire and explosions and is still on the loose somewhere out there...

Your titties are too small anyways! I like them super mongo jugs! Yeah, you heard me! Circus boobs!

Poor bengals_233, too inocent :P

[–] GeneticSugarKane 15 years ago

This film's logic is the least of its troubles. Bad all around.

It's a shame too cause I genuinely enjoy the first one.

The not killing him thing was quite stupid, but she was concerned about her boyfriend so that excuses it a little.

As for how he knew everything, Nick was talking quite loudly in the diner, it's more then possible it was repeated to him by one of the truckers that were offended. And it was his vehicle that they stole, considering his hobby, it's not out of the question that the he wired it to transmit to his truck at all times, allowing him to listen to them, and since he enjoyed power so much, he would of loved hearing them squealing and such. He kept them on the move and in the car almost the entire movie.

The surviving was a bit iffy, but it's also not out of the question that he jumped out of the left side of the truck as it rolled past then got into hiding as they gasped and geeked at the vehicle. He would of sustained fairly massive burns from the gas container she hit while in the car with him.

Plus, there's no implying that he sustained only burns, all we saw was an arm, he could have been looking like Darth Vader without the suit for all we knew.

I totally agree with the top poster. What a *beep* movie, we watched it last night and we were all sitting there facepalming at the stupidity of the characters, completely retarded movie. Im so glad i didnt pay to see it. HOW could he survive that last scene? It was so ridiculous, and throughout the entire movie we were like: Why didnt she just step on the breaks, why didnt they just pretend to mess up the phones etc etc etc. JEEZ. What a joke.

[–] ZebraFacee 15 years ago

I do agree on some points that posters have made.
I think they put the actual phones because Rusty
had just mentioned the blonde girls hair color &
they assumed that he has watching them.There are
two parts where I thought WTF. Both of them are
towards the end. The first is when she hits rusty
with the shovel a couple times assuming that he's
down. The next is when she doesn't hit the brakes
when rusty is on top of the truck. Those moments
pissed me off but the other stuff that people are
mentioning all have one explaination, PARANOIA.
Fear and paranoia can greatly affect your thinking.

[–] clark2005 15 years ago

None of these movies make any logical sense. If someone grabbed my friend at a truck stop the first thing I would do is call the cops. End of movie! Also Rusty sure lost a lot of weight since his exploits in the first movie? Also How do you grab a fully grown athletic guy from a bathroom in a busy restaraunt drag him to your truck that is parked right out in front where everyone can see and not get spotted. Also why didn't "nik" just say screw this right at the beginning. I mean he was a big chicken *beep* anyways so why not just say "Screw you, I'm calling cops"? After all he clearly didn't care about any of them anyways!

Did anyone bother reading over this script before they started filming?

For a B slasher flick it was ok, but yeah full of plot holes and problems... And the whole not finishing the killer thing is what drive me away from these movie in the first place. I mean my last slasher before that was Texas Chainsaw 3D in theater and before that i had not seen one for a while... I used to be a crazy fan of these movie, especially the Friday the 13th and Halloween and well chainsaw was ok, so couple months later i picked this up in a pawnshop at 3 for 10$ and well like i said its ok, one slasher movie here and there why not, its entertaining, but damn im getting tired of the whole i knock him out and don't finish the job *beep* If somebody would had kidnap/murder my friends, or sister, i wouldn't hesitate a damn second to chop his head with the shovel...

Also there is NO WAY, no FN WAY that the killer could had survive this unless he would had get out before the truck fall, but the burned skin show clearly he remain in the truck, so no way he could had survived that, cheap way of making it so a sequel could be made... after all slasher flicks are the king of endless sequels, but i don't think this movie needed another one. It could had just finish like this. Its not like slasher flicks are hard to be made, and the killer didn't had that much charisma. Sure the voice was unique but we barely see him in the shadow all the time and he is just some random guy with a cap..

Alice is the worst character of all time, she need to die in the last movie. Chris/Jill are RE !!!

[–] orbitsnorbit 10 years ago

The rusty nail guy is someone different from the first movie. In the first one he was a fat guy who kidnapped the girl but the second one looked like a totally different man.

[–] jmbwithcats 10 years ago

Part 1 is decent but part 2 is ridiculous.

The story of a psycho trucker who is omniscient, like some sort of serial killer diety, for example how did he drive up and kidnap someone out of a truck stop bathroom and disappear in like one minute? Oh right, it's a silly movie, don't think, just enjoy it...

Also how does he know everything about the funeral parlor, and the finger, and how did he put the finger in the glove box? This movie makes no sense... also two people can't talk at the same time on a CB.

Part 2 is pure idiocy.

Yeah. This is a very flawed film.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 7 years ago

You took this much too seriously. Rusty Nail enjoyed being the cat who played with his mice.
Get over it. It was a fun ride!
