Day 25: December 12th, 1999 |
|
In what will hopefully be the film's last full day of shooting, Action Director Eric Thornett took up the reigns one last time and stepped in front of the camera as special guest killer "Boogaloo Shrimp". Eric wants to thank you all for inflicting this asinine name on him. "Nigel Vendaloo" was second, "Casanova Chang" and "Psycho Bowtie" tied for third, and "Steve" was last with only two votes. Whether the actual name survives the final cut is still up in the air. Eric preferred "Psycho Bowtie" by the way. In any case, Eric went toe-to-toe with Cash Flagg, Jr. in the courtyard of an abandoned Silver Spring high school. Eric easily out-shined sissy-boy Flagg with his shocking agility and reckless disregard for personal safety. The day climaxed with the incredible fire gag, with Eric using a fire-suit which he claimed was designed for Russian cosmonauts for the Mir Space Station; on closer inspection, the suit turned out to be some jogging pants and a thick flannel shirt. Eric soaked his arms and legs with lighter fluid and with a nearby match, Eric burst into a ball of flame, shrieking up a storm as he careened into walls and flailed wildly. In the end, Eric was perfectly okay except for the third degree burns that covered ninety-percent of his body, his charred, scaly skin crackling and flaking with every step he took. "Third degree burns are nothing." Eric boasts, "Last year, I cut off my own head!" |

Cash Flagg, Jr. tenderly adjusts Eric's bowtie, but Cash promises the ladies that this doesn't mean anything; "We're just good friends, dammit!" Cash pleads. |

Eric Thornett as "Boogaloo Shrimp"; that's right, "Boogaloo Shrimp." |

With acting camera dude Kent Bye adjusting focus, Eric brushes up with his shot list. |

Let's get ready to rumble! |

Eric shows off his high-tech flame-retardant burn suit; developed by NASA scientists for the Space Shuttle, this technological wonder can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees. |

"That doesn't hurt. Yet." |

"My arms smell like Grandma!" |
