The aliens are incredible shots, must come from being lizard in people suits. They could train nearly infinite numbers of little-blue blaster shots on a single individual in an open field, and miss every one of them. They even repeated this amazing feat time after time after time in the movie. And they almost never hit anything. "V" also proved something I have always wondered about. You most definitely can run 2 miles or more after having your hip cooked by an unlucky little blue lazer blast. The only problem is you have to walk with a cute limp afterwards. Our Hero (OH) is able to sneak aboard an alien spacecraft hovering miles above the planet whenever he feels like it. OH is definitely human since no yuckky alien could manage that. OH even recovers from a little blue lazer blast to the thorax. The neatest thing is that the aliens have perfected rubber mask technology. Who could picture hundreds of thousands of lizards wearing people suits and not one rips, wrinkles, or slips unless OH makes it. Last point. OH fights an alien at close quarters, rips off its mask, and then kicks it in its alien balls and flees. Later OH's friend sees an alien up close and the lizard spits a neuro-toxin in his eyes and kills(?) him. I guess OH is so overwhelming no yuckky alien lizard is gonna spit on him! --- Stephen Perelgut --- {decvax!utzoo,ihnp4,uw-beaver,ubc-vision}!utcsrgv!perelgut (less desirable links) {floyd,mhtsa,sask,cornell,watmath,hcr}!utcsrgv!perelgut " " " " " {dciem,trigraph,garfield,qucis,nabu}!utcsrgv!perelgut
