 What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here So we talk about Halloween retribution in this video today now This would have been one of the many drafts I believe that are out there for Halloween 9 the sequel to Halloween resurrection This would have saw John Tate return to get revenge for his mother Laurie after Michael killed her in the last sequel resurrection So this will be a follow-up to that movie again one of the many drafts I believe existed in the early 2000s John would have teamed up with Sheriff Brackett I believe who's involved in this story to take out his uncle Michael Myers once and for all now What I mostly want to go over is this opening sequence that would have brought back a very despised character from resurrection Probably would have made a lot of you excited to see this character go The thumbnail is already spoiling it so I don't really have to say it, but I'm gonna get to his name soon So the story would have been centered on a protagonist named Leia or Lee now in the opening We would have seen a returning Freddy Harris and in this screenplay it does note that Buster Rhymes I guess would have been preferred to return in the role Freddy is at a local college in a town close to Haddonfield I would assume he's in a lecture hall being interviewed by a PBS crew about his new book that he has written That goes over him defeating Michael Myers something we know he did not do Based off the ending of resurrection. So he's profiting off that I guess and said goodbye to the danger attainment Freddy is signing copies of his book during the opening sequence after this lecture hall interview sequence And he's he's eventually confronted by a strange man who ends up being revealed to be John Tate Freddy recognizes him and implies that he tried to contact John for his book So I guess he just wanted to reach out to Michael's nephew But he couldn't get him because he's a hard man to reach and John is only here because he doubts Freddy managed to kill His uncle he's like questioning him in the line when it's his turn. Are you sure he's dead? Did you see the body Freddy then is shown leaving the college heading into a parking lot? But notices his tire has been slashed obviously this makes him upset But a campus security SUV approaches him and Freddy tries to get him to help But the car keeps the windows rolled up and ignores him So Freddy ends up telling the anonymous driver to to f off and he ends up kicking his truck It as a result of them just not helping him now when he turns his back It's revealed Michael is behind the wheel and killed campus security as their body is revealed in the passenger seat When the window is briefly rolled down The truck is eventually backed up closer to Freddy who still has not noticed that this is Michael So Freddy thinks he's about to get some help finally, but while his back is turned Michael hits him to the ground with a night stick Freddy looks up to see the mask but still questions who this person is So he's clearly delusional as far as I'm concerned because it's clear as day who this is Mr. Harris It's somebody who's out for revenge after what you just did to them in Like I don't know how many years has passed. I think this is set in 2004 So two years after what you did to them at the end of resurrection in their own house of all places So you have some audacity there Freddy gets in Michael's face saying I'm not afraid of you. So, you know, he's still doing that traditional stuff We saw him doing in resurrection this hard rock, you know, they want I swear They wanted him to be this stereotypical black and when I look at that movie now, I'm just like this It just makes me cringe. So a glimpse of a gun is Flashed for us to see that he has heat now. I guess he's packing heat Freddy has a gun He's in Michael's face. I'm not afraid of you, you know, he's doing all that signature stuff That kind of made him despise from the last movie Freddy ends up pulling the gun out and aims at it Michael Freddy tells him to take the mask off because he seems to be doubting that it's Michael He seems to have caught a dose of what after reading this opening He seems to have caught a dose of the Lori the Lori strolled opening sequence syndrome because the whole entire resurrection opening while in Some regard I understand it at the same time. I don't I don't see why someone would pretend to be your brother and come kill you But again, she she must have been very delusional at her point in that life at that point in her life Anyway, so Freddy again is telling Michael to take his mask off He seems to again just still be doubting that it's Michael Michael manages to knock the gun away from Freddy and slowly Chokes him while he eventually pulls out his classic butcher knife and stabs him to death John eventually finds Freddy's body in the parking lot and the SUV pulls off when John tries to open the door because he believes it was Michael and Before he could find out the SUV just pulls off now. Here's my thing the opening Doesn't make sense to me in a lot of ways because I'm just making assumptions that would lead me to think This is irrational. I haven't finished reading the retribution script. I just wanted to talk about the opening The reason this opening doesn't make sense to me is because of how deluded Freddy is When we clearly see at the end of resurrection Michael get up Kills, well, we don't see him get up, but we see his eyes open. What do you think happened after that? Did he have Did he say did he stay and have a tea party with with the people there? No, he killed them and he left. So did this not make it to the news? I just don't understand that how is Freddy so deluded into thinking that Michael is dead When we see that Michael is not dead at the end of resurrection and even John John in this opening sequence while he appears and has a conversation with Freddy He doesn't even make reference of the ending of resurrections. It's as if the ending of resurrection Didn't even make it to the news. I'm pretty sure if Michael walked out of there He did not just simply walk out. He killed people along the way Unless they of course are still going with this narrative like they presented at the beginning of resurrection that Michael somehow now cares that people know He's alive or not. He's he's gonna need to be secretive. So he didn't kill anybody He probably got a brand new pair of clothes and convinced the nurse to not tell anybody that he's alive And just somehow came to an agreement that way. Yeah The opening sequence here while it's cool in a lot of ways at the same time. I don't I don't like it I don't like it. The death of Freddy Harris don't really care. Freddy was again already a despised character So seeing him go out in a more even even more ridiculous way It's like, okay Well, you should have just committed to the death that you had in resurrection because that death People people would have I would have say would have liked the character a lot better if he had stayed dead when he died But then when he shows up and delivers that line trick-or-treat motherfucker, that was just like, okay This guy needs to die. So this would have just I would believe led to a lot of Very very much so round of applause from certain crowd members who do not like this character But you guys let me know what you think about this opening sequence down in the comments section below I'm thinking about actually recapping a lot of these Scrapped scripts for Halloween on my channel But let me know what you think about this opening down the comment section below if you haven't already course make sure you subscribe turn on post notification In this video in the description.
