I just got done seeing a movie on Showtime (on one of the Showtime channels, not sure which, I have like 6 or 7 of them) and the movie was called The Class of 1999 Part II. Anyways, I was on the channel and I happened to see a wall with a few paintball guns on it in the movie. I stayed with the movie for a while because they talked of some game they would be playing. Anyways to sum up the movie to the point of the game, it was about some guy who thinks he is a military cyborg and he goes mental killing all these people in horrific ways. The cyborg guy wants to kill all these people for some reason (did not see beginning so I'm not sure, I will touch on this again later in the post). Anyways, to the paintball game. They have all these people, mostly seemed young adults, getting ready to play this huge game. Basicly all the guns were Worr Game Snipers or old Autocockers (movie was made in 1993). The people for one thing had only the goggle lense part of a mask or they had a mask with a barely minimal coverage piece for the face (I believe this had to do with the time period, because it was made in 1993). Now here is where it gets bad, they start the game and the players not knowing this, the cyborg guy booby trapped the entire field with real dangerous weapons, not to mention he was on some hill with an arsenal of small arms. So during the game, you actually see the people on the field unknowingly detonating the guys booby traps. To name a few of the traps, one was a tiger trap, another was a trip wire with explosive and a trip wire with a spike ball (like in medievil times) and another trap where a guy sees a cantene, procedes to pick it up and sets off the trap which has wire that entangles him and hangs him by the throat in a nearby tree. To add to all the booby traps, the cyborg guy is running the field rampidly shooting people and killing them and one time pretending to be a ref and have people come after him and fall into a tiger trap and he procedes to throw an explosive in the hole their in, killing the people. All this is happening during the paintball game. Now to my point of all this, if you did not see at least 2/3 of this movie or a tiny part during the paintball game, you would not understand why this cyborg man was doing all this and why he was going "postal" on the people in the paintball game. Also to add to it, they made the guns sound like real guns when they were shot (made them sound like shotguns) and one of the guys in the movie supposedly invented gasoline paintballs. To sum it all up, if you had never heard of paintball and did not see certain parts of the movie, this is now the image you have of paintball and could lead people dangerous ideas. Even though this movie is nearly 10 years old as it was made in 1993, it's still running on the air. This was basicly the worst image I have ever seen of paintball ever on TV.
P.S.- I wasn't sure whether this belonged in the General Forum, so I posted this here.
