The Invisible Man (film)/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Griffin the Invisible Man himself has a great many great moments, but by far the best would have to be how he takes revenge on Kemp; quite apart from not being fooled by the police's attempt to protect him, he waits until Kemp feels as though he's managed to get to safety, and then reveals that he's sitting in the backseat of the car and has been following him this whole time. Then he ties Kemp up, drives the car to the edge of a cliff and...

Griffin: I hope your car's insured, Kemp: I'm afraid there's going to a nasty accident in a minute... a very nasty accident.
Kemp: Griffin, I'll do anything, everything you ask!
Griffin: You will? That's fine. Just sit where you are; I'll get out and take the handbrake off and give you a little shove to help you on. You'll run gently down and through the railings, then you'll have a big thrill for a hundred yards or so 'til you hit a boulder, then you'll do a somersault and probably break your arms, then a grand finish-up with a broken neck! Well, goodbye, Kemp. I always said you were a dirty little coward- you're a dirty sneaking little rat as well! Goodbye!

(He takes the handbrake off, letting the car roll off the cliff- Kemp screaming all the way, dampened by the sound of Griffin's maniacal laughter.)
