ChessMess Wrote:Picked up a clearance Clu figure and all the phrases he says come from the movie (or the Next Day video), save one: "So, you like bikes" Not only is the inflection he uses in saying the phrase a bit strange, the statement itself is a bit strange. My only guess is that at one point in the scripts, it was in there. Maybe he says it when they are on the grid about to battle, or maybe he was going to say it as the guards are dragging Sam away to the grid in Clu's ship. Either way it is a bit odd.

it was a line that got scrapped along with "Flynn Lives"

in the official novelization once Clu reveals that he is not Sam's father he said "So you like bikes?" referring to viewing his data on his disc and gathering the info that he rides a motorcycle in the real world

That would make sense as the next thing we see them on the light cycle grid. Guess they felt it wasn't necessary.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

I feel like a lot of things about that scene were really vague. Why not tell Sam right away that he's not Flynn? What's with the "Oh, so it's just you, eh? Just you..." line? (I know the speculation is that he was expecting Alan, though I guess we don't know for sure. If he knows there was a pager, that doesn't mean he knows who was on the other end. Flynn may have just told him "I can use this when I need help" and maybe Clu was expecting some big army or something, who knows.) And, hell, we never did really figure out exactly how the disc knows what went on with Sam long before he even received it.

That scene could've been done SO much better.

Ive speculated that it's possible a few of the confusing parts of the movie (I find things to be confused about in the scene between Sam/Alan at Sam's apartment as well) might've fallen victim to the writers getting an idea in their heads of what was going on, what everyone might be thinking, what the backstory was, etc., and then writing. Without thinking about the fact that we're not inside their heads, so we don't know that when they have Sam say X, they have a whole scenario inside their heads of what he's thinking and why...but we don't have that, so while it makes sense to them, it's confusing for us. (I have a tendency to do that same thing when writing, and I have to watch very carefully and make sure to put in more explanation/exposition.) At least, that's the only reason I can come up with for some of this stuff, unless they really mean to tie it in later (though I think it's a long stretch to expect an audience to remember these little details between movies).

It looked to me like it only accessed Sam's short-term memories - back to the beginning of the film.

My thoughts about Clu's line is that he's a jerk.

I also think it would have made a more interesting film if Clu has pretended to be Kevin Flynn a bit longer than he did.

Yeah, thats what bad guys do best!

Or, Sam says "That's a hell of a way to treat your son" and then gets dragged out right after that with no answer from Clu (or Clu gives him a nasty "The game has changed, Sam" line). Cut to the lightcycle scene. Would have to be modified a bit since Sam can't figure out why his dad's trying to kill him.... Q shows up, Sam reluctantly leaves with her (for whatever reason. Give any of us a few minutes of creative thought and we'd come up with something for this whole section). They show up at the safe house. "Dad!"

Cue big dramatic dialogue.
