Guy at the bar at the end


Did anyone else think the guy at the bar at the end of the movie was Obama?

I can imagine it now. BARRACK OBAMA:VAMPIRE KILLER. He be out murdererin mexican drug cartels and terrorists with a golden axe. Yellin gangster slang because he's black and that's what black people do. And throwin money around like that GIF of him. I'd pay half priced at the cheap theater to see that.

The end of the world doesn't seem so bad now that you're here.

I thought the same thing. My mom (yes, I live with my parents) said, "No, it was just some guy."

May not mean he's not a potential president, though. :D

It was just some guy. It wasn't Obama or W. or any body else in particular.

I'm pretty sure it was Jimmy Carter.

From he writer in the EW interview that other person just posted.

TIME: Was that next vampire hunter supposed to be anyone specific?

Grahame-Smith: No, it wasn’t. And what’s so funny is we hear—I’ve heard it a bunch of times now because we were in the Middle East screening it for a bunch of sailors and troops on different bases in Africa and Asia, and we got this comment ‘that was Obama at the end.’

The person I saw it with was sure it was President Obama. And I said that doesn’t make any sense because there’s a phone and—

Yeah, there’s a phone. And, by the way, it’s the back of my head, and I definitely don’t look anything like Barack Obama. So I don’t know, that was strange. But no, it’s not meant to be anyone particular, it’s just meant to sort of dovetail with the earlier scene of Henry and Abe

Why would Barrack Obama be sitting a bar with a pistol in his jacket...?

Come on now...

Good question.

But it clearly not only wasn't him, it wasn't a black guy. It was Seth Grahame-Smith, the author.

And who was he supposed to represent? According to him, nobody.

Edit: Oh, sorry. I didn't realize this has already been said about eight times in this thread.

Well, make it nine now.

Because he's looking for the guy who sold him some crappy blow.

Think cynical thoughts.

i thought it was bill clinton.

reply

Just a fun fact, but the guy who plays the guy at the bar is actually Seth, the author. I sat a screening of the movie before it came out, and that was what we were told.

**Spoilers for America's Political Future** It might have been Todd Palin.

reply

Dang, I didn't even read the book and knew it was Abraham Lincoln!

Obama definitely! From the way how his hair looks like

If any of you would bother to read the Trivia, you'd know that the screenwriter says it's no one in particular at the end, just a way to dovetail the scene with Abe and Henry in the bar. It's not Abe, not Obama, not Bush, not some would be assassin (as I kinda thought it might be). /facepalm

My thoughts exactly!!!

If Abe had become a vampire? He would still recognise Sturges.

If it was anyone else? there would be an explanation.
