The Nerd in “Unfinished Business”

[on Walker's death scene] Now, I gotta pause this because I gotta ask, how many times have you seen this shot in a movie? Way too fuckin' much. It was one of the biggest clichés of the time. What happened at the end of Batman? The Joker falls, same shot. What happens at the end of Dick Tracy? Big Boy falls, same thing. But Turtles III takes this cliché to a whole new level. I mean, a whole new level. Watch what happens when Walker hits the water.

[Walker screams while he falls to his death, and the water splashes]

Did you see that? Here it goes again.

[The scene is repeated]

There's no splash. Instead, he disappears. But he doesn't disappear. He like, implodes into himself. I'm really stunned, like why'd they do this? They couldn't do a special effect for a splash? But, what they could do is make him implode. Now, if you couldn't make a splash, why couldn't you just cut away, and then, just leave the sound of the splash? That would've actually been more effective. I can re-edit it right now. Watch.

[Walker screams while he falls to his death, and the scene cuts to the Turtles with the sound of the splash intact]

See? That's all they had to do, so why make the weird imploding effect? What were they thinking?
