Harry Cooper vs. Rhodes

[Brubaker]

I am having worse luck in this thread than Rhodes himself in the final showdown. I think I may need to regroup.

[Brubaker]

Actually I should have said I had worse luck than Torrez. The dude was beat up by either Miller or Johnson during that night time fight scene when Sarah was walking by their quarters, he got a black eye from John, lost 2 guns to John (a machine gun & pistol) and was left by Rhodes, Steele and Rickles without a single weapon. That was all before he got torn apart. Plus he only had one line all movie, which was outside the complex when he asked Sarah, John and Bill what they found. Though he might have been the offscreen soldier (not pictured) telling McDermott that "there have got to be other groups out there like us." I've always assumed the voice was Rickles or Miller, though.

Cooper crumbled to pieces from the start. He was a spineless worm. He was too far self absorbed to even notice that he was being an asshole. Rhodes, on the other hand had been dealing with it for quite sometime and been down in a cave underground, going stir crazy for months, probably years. We only get to witness the last couple of days of this pressure cooker, when everybody snaps. Rhodes was enjoying terrorizing Sarah and crew. So I would have to go with Rhodes.

In DAWN, that same actor is torn apart as a motorcycle raider, shot multiple times by Fran as ghoul, punched in the face by Roger as another ghoul, and shot in the face twice by Flyboy as a female ghoul. Romero's filmmaking motto: Abuse your pals!

Ha! Just don't abandon everyone by speeding off in one of those golf cart thingies. LMFAO! Rhodes is "teh cool" anyways. Best GAR character ever IMO.

Torrez lost a RIFLE and a pistol to John! I thought it was Rickles who said there had to be other groups out there like them? Rifle, machine gun. Whatever. I've never been in the army. My point is he lost two guns to John in the space of 5 minutes, which is not only bad luck but a stinging indictment on his abilities as a soldier. Besides I just said above that I assumed it was Rickles who said that line I mentioned, meaning that Torrez has all of one line in the movie unless you count the noises he made when he got thrown out into the hallway by another soldier, punched out by John and torn apart by zombies.

RIFLE! Come on Brubaker, weren't you at least a 'video soldier' on one of those war games the youngsters get a kick out of playing? Anyway, I wouldn't say it was his inability as a soldier that lost him his weapons. John was a cornered rat, he acted out of desperation. I thought his best line was the noises he made as his head got ripped off!

I thought his best line was the noises he made as his head got ripped off! Uh, no. I don't play first person shooters or war games. I play the new football, baseball and basketball titles each year. Really what is with the insults over me calling it a machine gun? I don't even own a friggin' gun and it is silly to assume every single person watching will be able to distinguish exactly what type of gun it is. It just seems a little overboard to browbeat me for 2-3 consecutive posts over the fact that it is a rifle, which I had no way of knowing. Give it a rest, I made a damn mistake. OK? This is exactly why I hadn't posted for 2-3 months.

[darth los]

Let's have it guys.

[Dillinger]

Rhodes was a bigger asshole, but an asshole in a cool way. Cooper, on the other hand, was a cowardly bastard.

[AcesandEights]

I thought his best line was the noises he made as his head got ripped off! I always found that part and the shrill screaming utterly spine tingling and I often wondered if any post production went into that noise.
