I thought it made them look like idiots. Who the hell charges into a police roadblock with handguns when they're armed with rifles, shotguns and assault weapons? Even for them, that's pushing the limits of credibilty. Would've been better had they surrended and were taken into custody, then a blurb at the end saying three months after their re-capture, they were all executed. Same results, more believable method.

Yeah, I didn't really mean that part. I mean when it makes it seem like they got away and then you see the blockade. That was a cool moment imo.

I didn't really feel that way for three reasons:
1. I noticed the time was off. I knew how long the movie was before I watched it, and when they werew travelling down the road, I looked at the time and, taking into account the credits, it was way off of what I predicted it would be. There had to have been more.
2. When they're travelling on the road, there's too many shots of them just lying around from different angles, recouperating from before. There's a good minute, minute and a half of them like that, way too long before the credits pop up. You could tell there was more coming.
3. Rob said he wasn't going to be making any more films about the family, meaning that he was going to kill them off. As they were still alive despite being captured and tortured, he had to kill them off at a later date. There was more coming.
A nice scene, but I knew what was going to happen.

Don't worry. Number 2 was the giveaway, but when writting the post, I couldn't remember it, and did after starting it. It should've been the real number 1, but that was the one that sealed it for me.

I knew what was going to happen as well, but that is the way they should have went out!

But did it have to be so moronic? Not even a retard goes up against a police line with handguns when the police have them outmanned and outgunned, yet these did. I don't call that heroism, that's just stupidity. The version I originally stated, where they're recaptured and then executed. It wouldn't have been as moronic and still gets the same effect: the police kill the family.

IMO they knew they werent going to get away, they knew they were going to die! If I knew I was going to be hunted till my dying day, I would go out like a son of a bitch as well. They knew they were going to die when they let Tiny go back into the burning house. But thats what I think.

It's possible that was the intent, and knowing Rob I wouldn't put it past him to try that, but the way it appears, he wants them to go out as this heroic group making a stand against the "evil" cops, as evident by reading their lips during the fight, especially Baby. It looks like this is their attempt to get away and are trying a crazy scheme to try it. There should've been more a look of resignation and defeat rather than heroism.

You are right I did feel sorry for them as they were dying!

Well, at least he got that part right, according to the interviews. That was the intent, I just wish it wouldn't have been made to look like they were heroic rather than the dejected, defeated types attempting a crazy scheme to get out of an impossible situation.

I think what helped that the most was Wydell going vigilante! They pawned the bad guy role onto him.

Precisly. You sort of have four characters that are pretty much the same, and while you need a hero, none of them are really present. You know Rob wants the Fireflys to be the heroes, but I just thought he went about it in a wrong direction.
