Carl Kassel tell us what we learned from Savage

[fodder650]

How many movies have opened with "Amazing Grace" or other open source songs.
This is not the terminator in the first act.
There has to be more to this movie. Wait, wait don't tell me. I'll figured it out.
So science versus caveman. Is this where Neil Gaiman got his idea for American Gods?
"and he's not 90% lead when he lands?"
"And they fired 84 rounds at a dog with a chew toy" - two of my favorite riffs as of late
Any chance we can get this guy to say "Where Wulf"

I learned that if you introduce an attractive female character and she's completely naked, I will spend the rest of the movie picturing her naked.
I learned that jails have really long pipes available and ready for use in prisoner fights.
I learned that in the cutting edge VR game "Illegal Entry" you can be a cat burglar, operative, industrial spy, or assassin.
I learn that evil, murderous corporations will produce a training video game on how to defeat their security procedures, then put it in kiosks in random places.
I learned that that nobody knows how to use machine guns.  I guess they were taught you just wait until your target is behind very strong cover and out of sight, then just spray bullets until you run out of ammo.
I learned that if your movie doesn't have enough money in the budget for music licensing, you can just reuse a public domain song in various mixes.
I learned that you can just use "Amazing Grace" on your sound track over and over again, completely out of context.  I mean, "Old Macdonald" would have fit just as well.  Maybe better, since the main character was a rancher.
I learned what the aliens interdimensional beings from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull were doing before they met Indiana Jones.
I learned that, when you have cornered an unstoppable superhuman fighting machine, and he is too demoralized to fight back, the best course of action is to provoke him into regaining his will to live and fight.

I learned the instant 'Almost Walter Goggins' appeared on the screen, my first thought was, "He looks like Walter Goggins". Then they guys called it two seconds later. (I saw Predators two days ago so he, Adrien Brody, and Mashershala Ali were on my mind.)
I learned the instant Edger Wallace appeared on the screen I said, "I know that guy from something." I looked it up immidiately and discovered it was 'Christmas Vacation' and he has one scene in it. Then his boss talks about him getting a Christmas bonus for some reason, which is what he discussed with Chevy Chase in CV. Then Mike actually makes a call out about it. Damn.
I learned yay! Another Gymkata callback.
I learned Olivier Grunner's manbuns are different from the manbuns shown in 'Money Plane' 
I learned this takes place in some alternate universe. Because when a gal goes out of her way to slap a guy she just met on his ass and begs her friend to be a wingman to go out for drinks with said guy, her friend does not understand the asslapper is the one who wants the piece ass.
I learned Olivier was the most terminator looking non-terminator I have ever seen.
I learned there was an Emo Phillips reference in this. I could cry in joy.
I learned I'm not sure what happened to Oli. He looked the same even if everyone referred to him as being transformed into a savage.
