antiphon Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 When Jango's clone picks up the helmet after he is decapitated, why didn't his head pop out? I was half-expecting to see it but then I think that would have pushed the PG rating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blenny Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 A.) It would have pushed the rating. B.) If it was going to it probably already had. C.) A smart bounty hunter always keeps his helmet on with a chin strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Vaylen Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 In the book the helmet is empty when Boba finds it, so who knows? Maybe it's a way of leaving the door open for a comeback. I know whoever was wearing the armor is clearly decapitated, but I don't think you see Jango actually putting his helmet on. One minute it's off and a little later it's on. Some kind of switch with a clone maybe? Not that I believe that, it's just an option that came to mind. Personally I doubt he isn't dead. Jango would have no reason to believe he'd be killed and wouldn't need a decoy, and it's the right way to set up Boba's character for the other films. Doesn't he have some kind of hatred for Jedi? - which the film would set up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 well remember a light saber when it slashs through someone quarterizes the wound( like you saw in braveheart when they took the hot poker to the old guys wound. the intense heat stops the blood and helps in healing) so you wouldnt see blood and stuff flying around. what messed me up about that scene was that it seemed like there was a long pole under the head like he was an action figure or someone and the head poped on top. and it think he just died way to quick.. granted mace is one of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy but it just happened so fast you were like...uh what?

Sithxace Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 this is a low point in the Starwars trilogy. I think they should have had it rated to PG-13 since he says this move is concentrated on 14-15 year olds. I just hate seeing mauls body cut in half with noting coming out or no head or redness on neck when his head was cut off, the closest to red was when luke's hand got cut off.

Jedi_Monk Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 and it think he just died way to quick.. granted mace is one of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy but it just happened so fast you were like...uh what? Well, while watching AotC for the second time ( ) I noticed that when Jango was trampled by the rhino monster (I think it was the Reek?) his jetpack shorted out. You can see sparks flying out of the bottom of it and hear them, too. So basically, Jango lost his speed advantage, couldn't rocket out of the way, couldn't go up just had to rely on his blasters... and he got hacked down. Fate's a b*tch, ain't it?

darth tyrannus Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 perhaps jango's head fell out when his helmet flew through the air after mace sliced it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracken Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Maybe the dust and wind from the explosions and the landing Gunships separated head from helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFire Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 When i saw it come off i thought it was a droid under it or something, i dunno why justed didn't seem right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 uh did you ignore my post or what? the reason why when maul got cut in half he didnt have blood and guts go flying is because the wound was quarterized same with jango fet, but that doesnt explain where the head actually went, i would say it probably rolled and the helmet fell off... you play jk2 at all with dismemberment on? see how when you cut someone in half you see a little spark and embers on the part where it was cut?

I was expecting to see Jango without armor standing behind Dooku after he "died", but I didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Dom_Pmd] Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 Okay, has anyone here ever worn a motorcycle helmet before? Fits quite nice eh... think about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted May 22, 2002 Share Posted May 22, 2002 It should be pretty obvious to everyone that Jango is wearing an outfit designed for combat. Combat with a lot of running, jumping, shooting, flying and being thrown around by enemies and explosions. It stands to reason his helmet would be secured to his head somehow. Like the previous post said a motercycle helmet stays on a head pretty snug, most have ching straps on them as well. To all those who said they thought fett was a droid in that scene, what film were you watching? One more thing: some of you thought he died too fast? In sword combat (or any other kind of combat) you can never kill your opponent too fast. That scene just illustrated how cool and skillfull Mace Windu is/was. So there.

Frizbee Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 Okay, any smart person... be they a Motor bike rider, Fighter Pilot, or in the case of the Star wars universe, A Bounty Hunter... makes sure a helmet fits nicely so that A) it doesn't slip down to the wrong angle and block their vision, or B) fall off in the middle of whatever they are doing. I've seen (In real life, not a movie) a Motor bike rider be decapitated by a bus, and the Rider's head stayed firmly inside the helmet as it rolled about thirty metres down the street. Now if that head can stay inside the helmet, why is it impossible for Jango's head to have remained in his helmet? Its the laws of Physics speaking....

Jim_Blade Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 The man before me is right. well remember a light saber when it slashs through someone quarterizes the wound( like you saw in braveheart when they took the hot poker to the old guys wound. the intense heat stops the blood and helps in healing) so you wouldnt see blood and stuff flying around. what messed me up about that scene was that it seemed like there was a long pole under the head like he was an action figure or someone and the head poped on top. and it think he just died way to quick.. granted mace is one of the most powerful jedi in the galaxy but it just happened so fast you were like...uh what? A light saber is as you now a LASER saber. There is a lot of heat involved. When you cut something it would stoll. You see it when somebody undergoos a LASER operation. The LASER quarterizes the wound the wound perfectly. But if this happend to boba I don't no because a lot of peuple say that there was nothing in the halmed (maybe this is Symbolicly used, Boba will have sort of armet to) an other reason can be that Jargo escaped. But I think that Jargo died already and the wound was conseald/quarterizes (but you never no, maybe you see it in EP3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Fisto Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 ok thats all fine and dandy but why is there a pool of blood when Obi-Wan slices off the aliens arm in the Cantina in episode 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_fox Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 The reason we dont see jangos severed head can be surmised in two words "PG Rating", Ratings force movie directors to alter the plot from their vision to a more socialy acceptable image, PG gets the most bums on seats but I think we would have seen more of interest if it wasn't self censored in this mannor, the sand people could have been really bloody As to why the original tirllogy have so much severing of limbs and numerous death fest fight scequences and still remains a U Cert.(Universal) I can only guess that people were not as offended by what they used to see at the cinema, we are all a bunch of pansys nowadays, I can't even go to an 18 Cert. nowadays without my mommy supervising me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi SuperBuen Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 You do see Jango Fett's head fly out of the helmet... It's when the helmet flies there's a quick shadow... I know for a fact you do, I seen AotC 4 times already. Take a closer look next time you watch the movie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taximes Posted May 23, 2002 Share Posted May 23, 2002 If you watched it another time more closely, when the helmet hits the ground you also see the head apparently roll out in the opposite for a few seconds. Anyone else see it too or was I have delusions of granduer again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
