How I would improve one scene

When Mav is first introduced to the pilots, and they realise with embarrassment that he's the 'old' guy from the bar:

As Mav walked past them, he should've patted Hangman's shoulder in mock reassurance, and to send the subliminal message that Mav is still the alpha male.

The big dawg in the room. And Hangman is his bitch.

They should have all sang “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling” to him in the bar

Yeah, with Ice Man using a voice box.

Except he was dead so maybe not.

It was a re-creation of the scene from the first movie, when Mc Gillis walks up to the stand. Would that scene have been better had she run her fingers through his hair as she walked by?

[–] JestersDead (485) 2 years ago

Several scenes were recreated but they all had a variation of sorts.

But yes, I think Kelly McGillis should've flicked his ear or slapped his head. Let him know she's wearing the trousers.

She practically was. 😂
