House of Wax: "You Like Knives?"

[Confederate]

I saw Paris Hilton's Magnum Opus, House of Wax last weekend. As the guy driving the slaughterhouse truck noticed the young couple looking warily at his fixed blade knife, he brightened up and said, "Y'all like knives?" He then pulled it out of its sheath and remarked how it would cut through "anything."

Well, the ingrates in the truck had no appreciation for what was undoubtedly one of United Cutlery's finest production knives, and they asked him to pull over and let them out. Obviously he was peeved...wouldn't YOU be? And he took his knife and stuck it into the dashboard of his truck.

I couldn't but help wonder if they'd been a little bit nicer whether things would have turned out better for them. Naturally, when these kids (and their friends) got in real trouble and began dropping like flies, no one had so much as a Barlow gen-u-ine folding knife.

There's nothing like a movie about a bunch of knife haters getting what was coming to them.

Okay, who can identify the knife?

haha theres nothing like paris hilton geting whats coming to her, a symbol for everything wrong with america. provided the guy with the united cutlery peice of crap wasnt one te guys doin the stabbing theyd most certainly have been better of riding with them.

No, they overreacted. First, the girl noticed the truck didn't have a door release mechanism on the passenger's side, then the guy driving the truck tried to be nice and show them his knife. He left them off at the deserted town. Little did they know that the town's House of Wax had real people as wax figures. In fact, everyone in town was wax except the two demented children of the House of Wax owners (deceased).

After they got what was coming to them, the two survivors leave town in an ambulance and they pass the guy with the knife sitting on the back bumper of his truck. Then there's a cut to the police doing the clean up of the town as the chief learns there's a "third" son.

Surprise, surprise.

It's amazing how no one in these slasher movies has a good knife except the bad guy. There's a lesson to be found here....

Agreed.

I used to date Elisha Cuthbert. I'm glad to see she is working and was able to survive my breakup of her.

Paris Hilton's Magnum Opus???? Remember, this is the General Forum, not W&C or...

That movie is pretty darn good by horror standards.

Halloween - the original, I believe Jason uses a chef knife throughout. Jamie Lee Curtis was cute.

Hrmm... Friday the 13th is jason. Halloween is Mike Myers (not the one who makes you laugh...).
Mike Myers uses just about the largest chef knife ever, and the original friday the 13th is (spoilers!) not jason, but his mom(spoilers!) and uses an AXE.

Are you sure? It looks more like the 7 1/2 blade model...the General (my first sheath knife!).

Excellent...I'm not worthy!!!!!!!!

Yes, House of Wax is one of the better slasher movies. I love it when Wade's friend finds Wade in the House of Wax and sees his eyes moving, then tries to remove the wax, only to find his skin has been burned off by the wax. It gave me nightmares.

Yeeeeeesh!

Another good couple of movies was Jeepers Creepers. The humor in the first one made it one of my all time favorites.

Have you seen Phantasm? That movie is awesome. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079714/
There's a Buck 124 Frontiersman in it, I believe.

They really should have trusted him, it's ONLY a United Cutlery and not only was he nice about it, he gave them a ride. It's aways the guy that DOESN'T want you to know he has a knife that you need to worry about... unless they have face paint (lol, Joker had an apple peeler)

sorry to bring back this thread guys, but I just saw house of wax on tv a little over a month ago and this scene stuck out at me too. I cant stand in horror movies how they show people with knives as evil or something, or at least, showing the protagonists afraid of knives. They would have certainly been useful to the characters in house of 1000 corpses to defend against those sick twisted freaks.

If I were in that scene, I would have responded "hell yea I like knives", and ask him why he doesn't clean his blades.
