The Silent Bob: Difference between revisions

Line 61:
* [[Those Two Guys]] from ''[[Suburban Commando]]''. When they finally do talk, they have impossibly high-pitch voices, and Hogan says, "No wonder you never talk."
* The "Bull" in the [[Film of the Book]] ''[[Where the Wild Things Are]]'' doesn't talk for most of the movie, merely standing stoically to the side, unnerving and intimidating most of the other characters. When he finally does speak, he turns out to be kindhearted and sensitive.
* Jason Voorhees from ''[[Friday the 13th (film)|Friday the 13 th13th]]''. This is quite popular in slasher movies, as Michael Myers from ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]'' has it too. Michael does at one point say something, {{spoiler|"Die".}}
** A monster is only truly scary if there is nothing humanizing about it. They ''need'' to stay silent or become [[Villain Decay|defeatable, or worse, relatable]].
* ''Omaha''. Throughout most of the film, there's conversations going on between the driver and front-seat passenger in two different cars, which are involved in a freeway chase. One of the cars is a station wagon, and the occupants of that car speak in Spanish, subtitled by a third person - a young man dressed in the Seattle grunge style - sitting in the rear-facing back seat, holding up cue cards against the back window. {{spoiler|In the end, however, it turns out that the subtitle guy is actually a character: he steals the [[MacGuffin]] from the Spanish-speakers, and after he's noticed by the English-speakers, holds up one final card on his own behalf before making his getaway.}}
