‘The Patriot’ - Firefly Similarities

Monday, April 12, 2004 4:04 AM

Ok well after the 1st fifteen minutes I jump up and said in my best Mudder impression “It’s Jayne!” Adam acts a lot lake Jayne because he betrays his friends then has a change of hart (But they don’t show what happens after.)

Second the town preacher (he even calls himself a Sheppard) takes up arms. I say to my self “The bible is fuzzy in the area of kneecaps.”

Mel Gibson’s character talks about some fort where Indians working for the French slaughter settlers. I immediately think of Reavers. And when he talks about what his men did to the Indians I started thinking about that Alliance Officer in ‘Bushwhacked’ “I haven’t see that kind of brutality since well since the war.”

Then there is a scene where Mel’s character and his son are talking and Mel (wow I almost typed MAL!) is cutting an apple before eating it. Maybe the British used ‘Grizwalds’?

In the very end Mel does a Mal with his pistol (its kind of out of frame) but he flips his pistol end over end and starts hitting the British Calvary commander with it ala ‘Hart of Gold’.
