Title: Pterodactyl
Post by: Andrew on March 18, 2008, 04:17:12 PM
Prehistoric eggs hatch and a flock of man-eating pterodactyls surprises a paleontologist and his graduate students.  Fortunately, a special forces team under the command of Captain Coolio is on hand to save the day.

I actually know what a monkey's fist knot is.  I actually have a rope mace I made in which one end is a monkey's fist.  Does the knot have a purpose for something other than beating people or one's self?

I liked the blond girl, but then she got killed.  It was really hard to sit through the rest of it.  I always wonder what sort of conversation leads to Coolio getting hired for a movie.

Producer:  "So, do you think our movie is stupid enough?"
Director:  "Not by half.  What can we do?"
Producer:  "Hey, how about getting Coolio?"
Director:  "Brilliant!  Brilliant!  After his performance in Dracula 3000, how could we not want him in our movie?!?"

To make a heavy ball on the end of a rope so that it can be heaved across to another ship.  "Smacking people in the head with my thick ball of rope" came later.

I would expect that to depend a lot on both the heaver's aim...and feelings towards the one supposed to be catching it.

You know you cannot just walk from Armenia into Turkey. Border patrol would shoot you. Besides that, pteradactyls, even the largest ones, were not strong enough to carry off with animals as large as humans. In fact, they weren't even dinosaurs, they just lived along side them.
