Quicksand Fans

The Pirelli Tire Calendar shoot video misses opportunity after opportunity. Take a bunch of mind blowing beauties to Africa and make a calendar. What could go wrong? Watch the whole thing. It's fun to look at if nothing else.

All king kong movies ,always expected it but never happens. Closest they got was jessica lang fell in a muddy footprint. Heart skipped a beat then a big letdown. Oh well there's a new one coming out ,maybe

Crimson Peak set it up perfectly on several occasions. Nothing, though.

Its actually (to me) hard to believe that "The Bog Creatures (2003) [see IMDB entry at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0295884/ ] did not have such a scene as it was ABOUT digging up bodies that have been buried in a bog.

The Golden Idol, The Rundown, Anaconda, Tarzan the Apeman, Romancing The Stone, Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (I know Kingdom of The Crystal Skull had one, but I didn't like it), and Tarzan and The Lost City (1998).

If this was already mentioned, my apologies, the series " Off The Map" about adventures in the jungle; No Quicksand!

The movie" Tarzan's Great Adventure" First, man stumbles into quicksand, Sean Connery's character shot by an arrow, the girl falls into a spike pit. Couldn't they just reversed the events? Switch the girl and the man's fate. The man falls into the spike pit, Connery stays in the middle, but the girl runs and sinks into that delicious sandy quagmire! Would have been better to see the girl face that fate!! Oh Well !!!

I like the other titles that you mentioned, but this one was just begging for a scene.

I get the feeling that you checked out the deleted scenes, and saw the one featuring Rosario Dawson's character (Mariana) very vulnerable, and running for her life through the jungle.

Hmmmmmm!

Oh God, yeah! Another one which got away.

thread bump...because it's a good thread.

I've realized that several horror movie franchises could have easily done a quicksand scene, and in most cases it would have been excellent for the plot, or at least germane to the atmosphere and fit into the movie perfectly.

Take the Friday the 13th franchise for example. Most of them take place near a lake, sometimes in the woods. It would have been easy and quite dramatic to have a scene in which someone is fleeing Jason and gets stuck in mud, or even drowns in quicksand.

What about a Final Destination movie? They made what...a truckload of these things, and couldn't have anything resembling a qs/mud related death scene? Heck, they had escalators, car engines and a panes of glass removing characters in what amounted to little more than a series of 90 minute deathsploitation flicks. I think it's a conspiracy.

Chucky movies...okay, maybe a stretch, but we're talking an intelligent and psychopathic serial killer in the body of a doll. You'd think he would have killed someone by forcing them into quicksand, mud, cement, or something at this point, right?

I'm not really ranting or speaking ill of these movies (even though I'm not really a fan of modern "horror"). I just think any one of them could have benefited from a quicksand related scene (and maybe direction by one of the greats like Hitchcock, Romero, Argento or Craven).
