Just watched this movie again .....At the end I think I would have shot him too but my buddie says he wouldnt......
What would you do? |

In real life, i would have preferred the alternate ending to occur (see the DVD). If it was me, I most likely would have shot him, and then probably myself, too. Of course, that's all speculation on my part as well.

You guys are too nice! I would have killed him, slowly. I figure Mr. Pitt had at least 8 rounds (probably more with reloads), I think I would try and see how many times I could shoot him without killing him. I guess I would be charitable by giving him the last round in the back of the head. Its the same thing with the guy that raped and killed that 5yo girl. For that guy, I might try and keep him alive even longer, like the guy in Seven.

View Quote Cheapskate [:)] After the box is opened and Pitt's character comes over, he is freaked out and wants to shoot him. Freeman stops him, and instead shoots John Doe. He says..."I'm retired." |

I probably would have shot both his hands off at the wrists and one in the stomach, and watched him slowely bleed to death, while his stomach acids burned his insides. |

Shot him ?
Yes. But I carry extra clips so I would have started from the legs and worked my self up towards the head. I would have at least blessed him with 40 rounds. |

If it was me I'd use a small torch and vise-grips to skin him alive without him bleeding to death before I was done.
then I'd start hurting him for real. |

I'd go with Parker and Longbaugh....
Tie his wrists to steel pole with barbed wire. His ankles with barbed wire to an anchored come-along about 5 feet off the ground...start cranking it tight. As Parker says in Way of the Gun " This is as good as it going to get. In a little while I'm gonna pull out some of your fingernails....then I'm going to slice your eyeballs. As we continue I'll come along and pour gasoline in them just to make sure you stay awake....." Yeah that would work....unless I could find four big-ass Clydesdales and draw and quarter him.......The Medieval way...... |

Its great to be around my brothers and sisters in arms and not those sissified liberals that think that these animals that rape, kill and prey on innicent children,women and the weak are misunderstood and need help. When they really need to have someone go Medieval on thier asses. This thread reminds me of the ways of old. When if you were one of these preditary monsters you would be hung publically and left swinging for all to see. It would leave quite an impression on the children that saw and I'm sure when they grew up they would remember what happens to those that get out of line. |

Maybe shoot that penis first, smoke a cig while he yells in agony, then finish the job. Blind Rage is a good thing sometimes. |

When I first watched that movie at the theater I remember thinking that I might have had to reload.
Now that I'm a little older, wiser, more patient and now that I've been married a few years, if this was to happen I think I would have to re-enact the russian decapitation video after reloading. |

I know you guys are just venting, but you might want to take a look at what you're saying. No doubt in my head that John Doe should die. I'd be looking at him through glass when the .308 slug crosses his mind, and I have to admit that I might grin a little. But torturing the POS? IMHO, if you start to enjoy stuff like that, you're over the edge.
A self-defense situation is one thing; that's when it's perfectly fine to go medieval. You need to do anything and everything to come out alive. But dispatching a restrained prisoner? There's no need for any messy stuff there. And doing in front of witnesses? Why throw your life away with his? |

Me (as Brad Pitt), "What's in the box?"
(opens box) Bang. (gets on with dealing with his wife being killed) |

The thoughts expressed here are exactly why civilians shoujld not have access to firearms.
Save yourself the trouble and start turning them over to people who can be trusted with them now. |

Shot him? thats an understatement,a shot to the grion to start with followed by some time for the sick bastard to understand that this might take a while.

the thing is u never do find out what is excatly inside the box
|

One of the all-time best movies EVER, IMO. I must have seen it at least 100 times - no kidding. Mills was under so much stress & pain that I cannot fault him (well, his character) for what he did.
Would I ever do the same thing? I just hope that I never find out. Tyler |

I wouldn't kill him.
I would remove his eyes and tongue and also render his arms/legs useless. Then I would make sure that he knows that he will live for many years in that condition...and then I would destroy his hearing as well. [pissed] Some things are worse than death. |

John Doe was a sicko, he wanted to die so he would be remembered.
I wouldn't kill him, not on the spot. I would wait it out and get with a screw on the inside and exact my revenge in the middle of the night a few months down the road. |

Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, 'Dear God, what is that thing?', will echo in your perfect ears. That is what 'to the pain' means.

There seems to be some Soviet era studies done regarding sensory deprivation effects on humans. IIRC, there was no one that retained any sense of their sanity after being subjected to full sensory deprivation. The tecnique seemed very involved with medications, a salt water tank, video cameras, medical monitring, and several technicians standing by.
