Exploding Barrels/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

IGN: The big question on everyone's mind is why are there so many exploding barrels on this unexplored island?

Amy: All the old wooden powder kegs were left behind by the original Spanish colonists -- c'mon, it makes perfect sense! Why they haven't disintegrated after 400 years, why the powder inside is still combustible and ignites from a single bullet hit, and why the Spaniards stacked them up in such convenient places... it's just one of the mysteries of the island, I guess. But mainly there are so many exploding barrels because it's fun to shoot exploding barrels.

"The explosive barrel, frustrating AND hackneyed."
