Outpost : 5?

5?

When the Amberican (I think) mercenary ran to the surface near the end and made some sort of white flag, what was he doing?

He didn't strike me as the type to wave the white flag and surrender, then he wrote the number "5" on it.

Why, if he was surrendering, would he feel the need to tell the enemy how many were left?

Was it just so the Nazis could counter it with their "4" jibe after killing one more?

Re: 5?

His comment 'bring it on' or something similar indicated that he was telling them how many as a challenge rather than as an attempt to surrender. Personally, I thought it was a bit of a bonehead move. And yeah, he was American, the one referred to as the 'Redneck'.

Re: 5?

He was saying to the audience "This pile of crap will be lucky to get 5 on imdb". And he was right.

It would have been funnier if it have been accurate.

Re: 5?

saying this movie is a piece of crap just makes you a moron, the movie was well shot, well executed, for the most part well acted and the fact they had practically zero budget compared to how good the movie looks is a major accomplishment, and considering it was the guys first time directing a movie i think he done pretty well.

Re: 5?

I've seen first efforts by directors turn out much better. It does have that low budget feel to it and I've always been a fan of low budget movies. I've seen incredible things done on low budgets. Then again, there is always 'The Fanglys'......

But, that was nice of you to make the gesture...

(however the one fingered gesture is a LOT MORE FUN!!!)

Re: 5?

He didn't strike me as being the surrendering type,lol. I think he was just saying *beep* you! Theres 5 of us left....come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!'

Re: 5?

It wasn't a surrender, it was a challenge.

He wanted to fight the Nazis. He was daring them to take on the final five.

A good, entertaining movie, but it would have been better with a different conclusion.



Re: 5?

It was a bit stupid/ambiguous that he used a white flag, the international sign of surrender, to 'taunt' their enemy.

Re: 5?

Yeah , i too thought it was a kind of challenge. the "5" meaning there still 5 of us here, thats why the nazis wrote 4 just to mock them.
As of using a white sheet , well, wich other method would you use to write the message?

Re: 5?

i didnt like that part. at all.

why advertise to your opfor how many men you've got left to fight through?

may as well tell them what their names are, and where they are.
pretty daft imho.
