WTF Moments in Movie History - Saboteur

[Cinema320]

Boy, I sure am glad this hack Hitchcock once lived. Otherwise, I probably would have never heard of TheCastorTroy, who is indubitably one of the great artists of the 21st Century.

[visoredbhsgirl13]

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!­! KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!! LOL! (robot chicken episode)

[visoredbhsgirl13]

k, at 1st, he points a gun at him, and then he tries to save him from falling... w-t-f...

[shrigglemictiggles92]

2:17 - 2:21

he does look like gollum

[tpellman]

This criticism total crap. That ending was great.

"Lets save the guy who originally wanted to kill me! "

This attitude says volumes about the cultural differences between and then now. God help us!

[MrAppleby56]

WTF is exactly what i thought when i saw this part of the film.

[mmtigan]

Sounds like he was yelling "GAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY" again... :/

[LiLStyle313]

yes it sounds like gaaaayyyyyyy :D

[john0174]

Play 2:17 - 2:21 It's Gollum!

[Navywxman]

For a 1942 movie it was good considering the standard cheesiness of films then.

The story has particular relevence. Recall the real life plot to overthrow Roosevelt in the 1930's and install a dicatatorship in the US that was funded by wealthy industrialists like in the movie.

Sadly that real life attempted right-wing coup has fallen down the memory hole even deeper than this movie.

[theSuperMetroid]

I actually just saw that on TCM today and couldn't believe that was the ending. I just sat there staring dumbfounded at the screen. The scene works until the lame fall and abrupt fade to black.

[fromthesidelines]

Norman Lloyd, incidentally, became HItch's associate producer on his weekly TV anthology series in the late '50s...

[milou66]

This was such a good ending, he did it all over again 17 years later in North by Northwest. The composition of the shots in this scene is stunning. It makes the end of X-Men look like crap.

[milou66]

of course he grabbed his sleeve. did you see his grip? grabbing at his hand would have dislodged him instantly.

[Lechoni21]

for the age the movie was shot, that fall was awesome!

[Air0h3adsoftware]

Should have gone to the tailors...dammit!!

[abigmuff]

The ending could possibly have been put down to Hitchcock's decidedly English sense of fairplay - unlike Americans, us English like to see a chap get a fair chance you know.

[Scrapheap71]

At least the special effects were good, given the technology they had bck then.

[MyNameIsNotHereNow]

of course, grabbing his hand would be completely STUPID.

[P0rKK4na]

wtf why he sounds like GGGgggaaaayyyyyyyyyy.... or something.

[ali711arab]

I love watching characters fall to their deaths in Hitchcock films, they're always great

[poetcomic1]

The point is that Nazis saboteurs wear cheap suits.

[blackwingy]

It's obvious that Cummings needs the bad guy to clear his own name without dispute--plus, a ket saboteur would be a million times more valuable to the United States alive as an informer, not dead! And one more thing--it's NOT illogical to try to grab the guy's sleeve-it's made crystal clear(to me anyway) that if Fry lifts his gripping fingers one inch, he'll fall instantly. Cummings is also shown trying to save Fry's life to emphasize HIS humanity and basic decency.

[assandthem]

-indeed the evil guy expects to be shot by him and then falls.

-Maybe in many films you have seen...He grabs the jacket sleeve because that can help without interrupting the grasp of hands on Lyberty surface. Three points are better than two.

Would you grab your enemy's hand in that circustance?

[Swordman85]

I liked this movie, but the end is ridiculous. Sure, he wanted to grab the guy who tried to kill him SO HE COULD BE JAILED AND PUTTED IN TRIAL, but the way that the movie ends, I couldn´t even believe that movie ended... (((

[stinkomanfan]

...Is it just me or does it look like he can just slide down her arm then climb up her head. Then it looks like he can just sit there.

I hate having to disregaurd my reality to watch this.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

I think it's actually pretty dang cool, anything involving Lady Liberty is interesting to me, and for the time, the effects are pretty decent!

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

SMOKE WEED EVERYDAY

[lifeafter3pints]

The poster of this vid is obviously quite obsessed with it. What, TheCastorTroy, is your point?

[Genesis28v12]

why is there music? it'd make the scene ten times more effective. it just seems crappy without any music.

[jazz4]

the lack of music heightens the realism.

[Adom]

I was thinking music would be a good cue for the audience help nudge them into feeling what you want, but a lack of music can have a profound effect too. I think seeing it on YouTube and not in a theatre full off other people in the dark makes it so different. It's just quiet, instead of "hushed" and silent darkness.

[dave98503]

It shows the best in an

american that he tries to

save him in the end after everything.

[GAndreiev]

Ah, c'mon, Castor! Hitch loved the illogical, it's one of the most entertaining moments (and films) in film history. He does make it clear witht he line "I'll clear ya...." You wanta great laugh, watch the Coen Brothers spoof this scene in "Hudsucker Proxy"

[Tristanvash38]

It's like...in the middle of doing a barrel roll, his N64 controller comes unplugged and he screams "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!"

[MichalTCZ]

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnn­e.............

[djnoreg]

OMG lol GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

[gotgot4242]

...hssss... grrbahhh... Ill get your sleeve

[Soilsnack]

THE SLEVE!!!!!!

[wolfer339]

Fuck.

[kudjo24]

dude, thinking about it, u should do a "brown noise" video of some sort and make us all shit our pants

[kudjo24]

cuz grabbing onto his hand would make too much sense, lol

[DrMattDestruction]

'GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAY'

that's what he said.

[jsXanatos]

COME ON FRY
