Swordmaster Posted December 26, 2001 Share Posted December 26, 2001 Originally posted by Hel-ter The whole idea of Manny and Meche is taken from Chinatown: just imagine the interrogating scene is Manny's office The interrogating scene could be from any film noir movie for that matter. Meche is the femme fatale in Grim Fandango and the game keeps up with the film noir tradition by not actually revealing until the very end if the woman in question is actually all that innocent or not. As a huge fan of film noir, GF was a true feast for eyes, ears and mind. I actually hoped you would've had the option to switch into B&W mode, as in Sam & Max Hit the Road!

I always thought Eva was the femme fatale of Grim Fandango. I'm also a big noir buff (at least in my mind), and she stood out to me more than Meche in that respect. Meche, in my opinion, was more of a maiden-in-distress, although she did have her tough moments. Eva was always tough, and although she disappears in years 2 and 3, she still plays an important role in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 The tatoo guy (Toto Santos) speaks hungraian in a part of the game, see my thread about it. Btw: How can I put/upload an image into my signature?? Grim Fandango rulz of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Femme fatale = fatal woman The FF is the women who one way or another sends men to their doom. That'd be Olivia for GF. Eva's what's called the 'tough cookie'.

ArielDisaster Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Originally posted by Hel-ter in the first year, when you zoom in on some of the festival watchers you can see Bogen, Max and Olivia... How do you zoom in on certain parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xGrimx Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 If I'm not mistaking isn't that a little video you watch and you see them 3? I don't think there is away to zoom in. I coulda swore it was a movie that you saw them. Could be wrong tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeddlingMonk Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Right. It's only in the trailer that Olivia, Nick (not Max), and Bogen are at the festival. But in the game, when you're at the clown's tent, Olivia can be seen in the street beyond. She's visible just to the right of the clown's tent. Her head is directly underneath an orange flag.

QueZTone Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 hmmm another In-joke, at least I THINK it's an in-joke cause the whole move directly reminded me of Outlaws.. You see at the end.. *SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER* Manny walks up to the door and Hector sprouts into flowers through the door..then Manny throws down his gun, turns around and walks away.. Now if anyone of you ever played Outlaws, it's very much the same style as Marshall Anderson walked away from..hmm I can't remember perfectly, could've been the first boss (Slim) or that Dr.Death villain in the mines. Anyway seriously; the moves look a like I had another Outlaws reference, but I kinda forgot, maybe i'll remember it later again hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
