    Sadako. Her curse takes 7 days to take effect, assuming it’s gone once 24 hours are up. Else, Jaws can’t get you if you’re nowhere close to the sea.

    The thing from “It Follows” goes at a walking pace, I could hop in the car and drive a few hours out of town to spend the day at a nice park.

      Until a car accident and they put you on pain killers and don’t allow you to drive. You gonna end up Stranger Things’d in that hospital bed.

        I mean, sure, you could always die of an unrelated accident at any time while you’re being chased by a monster. The specific monster hardly matters in that situation.

    Chucky just to prove to yall how easy it would be to defeat that doll. Shit, with $3b I’d pay Messi to kick him in a furnace on PPV and probably come out with even more money just off subs alone

      Wasn’t one of his big things that he was supernaturally strong and resilient? It wasn’t just a doll; It was a doll that was possessed by the ghost of a serial killer. So there was some supernatural aspect to it that made it harder to destroy than most people would expect.

        If you go by the early versions he is limited by his physical doll-form. He can’t fly, teleport, drive, etc. and he’s not really that strong, or fast.

        If you knew about him and that he was coming after you, it shouldn’t be that difficult.

            Naww, don’t you remember those few scenes with Chucky running past the camera? He can at least do 10 miles an hour on foot. Also he does know how to operate vehicles. He’s a serial killer stuck in a doll, not a magical doll with few human skills.

    Shit. He’s right. That isn’t honorable prey.

    Freddy Kruger, as long as I have prep time. Get a good night sleep the night before? Staying awake for 24 hours is pretty trivial. I can get up at 6 one morning and stay up til 6 the next morning. I’m willing to screw my sleep cycle up for a few days in exchange for 3 billion dollars.

    This made me look up the actual Predator code of Honor and I quote

    "Unarmed and/or “innocent” beings may be hunted if they:

    Are the specific objective of a hunt."
    

    Sorry Op, you’re still screwed.

    Jaws is objectively the best choice anyway. Just drive inland.

      they seem to ignore the camera crew, that’s kind of them…

      fuck it, we need a BBC mockumentary about then filming the predator like a nature documentary.

            You must be young?

            So… I’m no history major but as I recall, Nicaragua had a socialist government called the FMLN… Reagan hated socialism and hired Oliver North to arm and train El Salvadoran troops… it’s wasn’t very secret. We had military boots on the ground. Even now I believe that we have a base in Panama to train soldiers… it’s connected to West Point somehow.

            But yeah, if shit’s going on places, we’re there.

            I do not know how Predator explained our soldiers down there but it didn’t have to.

              the question was sort of rethorical. the movie takes place in Guatemala

              Let’s face it, they were sent there to protect the cocaine deliveries to the States
