screencap Friday: what the flick? #9
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights.

It's not Terminator 2 is it? (the end where he lowers himself into the boiling metal)

Good guess on T2, but no. This is from no Terminator movie. Nor is it from any Aliens movie.

Nope.
Hee hee. I've gotten better at not making this too easy.
Here's a tiny hint. The hand of the man in the image also appeared in one of the movies already mentioned...

Blade Runner?

It's definitely not Blade Runner. (Says the man who has watched that movie a couple of HUNDRED times.)
Is it possibly Total Recall? I am trying like crazy to think of movies with big industrial button doohickeys...

Not Blade Runner ot Total Recall.

The Rock?

No, no, no.
Oh my god, do you people really think I'd own a copy of *The Rock*? :->

I liked the rock,
Patriot Games, maybe?

Nathan wins: It's *Twister,* when Bill Paxton is trying to deploy the Dorothy machine in the middle of the road...
posted by Clayj (March 3, 2008 1:44 PM)
Yep, that makes sense. Bill Paxton not only appeared in Aliens, but also in The Terminator, as one of the punks that Ahnuld kills right at the beginning of the movie.
But MaryAnn: You protest at being accused of owning a copy of The Rock, yet you own Twister? Tsk, tsk.
(Fair disclosure: I own them both. No denying it.)

*Twister* rocks.

And The Rock twists?
