Don't ever call me crazy, Alan! Ever! Cause everyone in this town has been calling me crazy ever since I told the cops that you were sucked into a board game.
Alan should have been like he’s not a real person just an extension of the game. He can’t be reasoned with or bargained with, doesn’t show remorse or pity and absolutely will not stop until i am dead!!
That part confused me too as an Adult when she said " just ignore him honey , his a Libra " lol , i thought Libras where all about Balancing the scales and upholding justice lmao
I don't really understand his reactions at all, for some reaction his initial excitement fades away and he becomes pretty cold towards Peter when the four of them convene afterwards.
@@godei7800 for me, it’s layered. He was already pretty hard on Peter in the beginning, acting not unlike his own father, and Alan craved his dad’s affection and genuine praise when he was young. As he watched Peter being brave and going after the game, he has this fleeting glee an pride at what he sees Peter accomplish. And you can see he almost wants to yell out saying ‘good job Peter’ or something but catches himself. He wanted that kind of encouragement as a boy, and because he didn’t get it, he struggles to give it to Peter. That’s what I see at least ahah. There is something to be said about an audience reading too much into things, but I’ve watched this movie so much, I don’t if I’ve attached extra meaning. :)
For anyone curious he likely dropped about 52,000 worth of gold on that table i counted 24 coins assuming they were each an ounce If they were1903 Gold Sovereign - King Edward VII - London coins it would be worth about 16,000
Even without the gold trading an antique elephant gun for a semi auto assault rifle is a very lopsided trade. The assault rifle is probaly worth a few thousand while the 19th century safari rifle is probably worth 20000 minimum

Well, also, sadly Hollywood has a penchant for depicting gun store owners as criminals (aka falsifying state and federal records for gold coins). 99.99% of FFls turn away anyone who is a weirdo and has no ID. The ATF usually catches rogue Dealers (and sometimes in their zeal they sweep up honest ones with paperwork errors). But 99% of the criminals or mentally unfit persons get their weapons illegally aka 'the black market'.
After Alan gives a fish to the pelican, he's like I'll trade you this fish for the game. The pelican is like let's make a deal so it kicks the game into the water.
0:06-0:15 She makes good sense in there for these two reasons: 1. When she mentioned "when you carry around so much repressed anger, it attracts a lot of negative energy and things happen like ending up a jungle, that was no accident", the game makes drumming noise to attract anyone who "want to leave their world behind" as in not want to live a life you dont want so the game grants you that wish but not in the way you want it. However, in the end, you'll appreciate your life after the hardship you go through playing that game. 2. Alan's dad issues generated a lot of negative energy in him that attracted Van Pelt to face his issues like a man.
I remember watching this movie when I was a little boy 👦 5 years old at my house 🏠 on lone willow lane 🏠 🏚 and I still watch the movie and it brings back memories from my growing up days when I was little
3:30-4:20 I think when Van Pelt bribed the guy for a replacement rifle/shotgun, I think that was a pretty smart thing as he couldn't fill in the forms honestly because he would know that no one would believe him if he came from an inner dimension in a supernatural, dangerous, cursed board game.
He isn’t a real person hence had no ssn drivers liscense ect so even if he lied he couldn’t fill them out. Also he don’t have time to deal with the waiting period he is nothing more than an extension of the game who’s sole purpose is to kill Allan.
Even though the CG is not great, there's something very off-putting and strangely lovecraftian about seeing all those animals appearing from nowhere and stampeding through a house.
@@BenjaminLunning well U hardly ever see that stampede charge through something like that so I'm sure animators would have found a way around that anyway
Since it came from the game, probably a lil bit of added difficulty. Much like Van Pelt targeting Alan specifically for being the one that rolled the dice and brought him out.
@@nickimillenniumThe game can't sabotage just like the players can't cheat, that would be against the rules of the game. it only makes playing a bit difficult
Like van pelt and everything else that comes out of the game its sole purpose is to prevent the players from winning the game. Jumanji is playing against you as well as you playing against it
Nobody wants to find out, which seems to be the point. No one knows if that person would 'stay' inside the game if they perished from a move they made, just that it requires everyone to have a turn even if they stopped playing for over two decades. The only way it would reset everything is by a Player winning the game. In the chaos that ensued, already people were being stabbed by mosquitoes the size of BLEEPING YAMS, and were probably sick enough to nearly die themselves! The game gets harder with each turn, that the Players almost either lose his mind by turning into a monkey, or nearly die from giant spiders or poisonous plants. So close to death, but the willpower to play the final move that stops the whole thing! ^^
It has to because if you recall, Judy got shot by one of the poisonous barbs so she died or got uncounciuss for a moment 'till she died eventually but after Alan finishes the game, everything was reset so none of it didn't happen, which means Judy didn't die So it's safe to say that the killed players will get resurrected after the game is finished as long as one or a few players is still alive to play it.
