The scene in which the Human Torso lights up a cigarette is the more memorable because the Torso is set on a table, supposedly listening while the "normal" circus strongman is bragging about his feats of strength, ignoring this simple yet astonishing sight of the Human Torso rolling a cigarette and managing to smoke it, which undoubtedly completely stole the scene for the audience.

Posterity

The posterity of the movie "Freaks" is important. For instance the comic stripes story "Silence" by the drawner and artist Comes ( 60 p. Casterman edition published in 1984 ) was a part of the inheritance of the movie. The movie "Elephant man" was also a part of the inheritance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.91.242.54 (talk) 15:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Truncated Cigarette Scene

I bought Freaks on DVD a few years back and was disappointed that the Human Torso's cigarette rolling/lighting scene was cut short so that only the lighting of the cigarette is seen. I had seen the film on UK terrestrial television about 10 or 15 years earlier and distinctly remember that the man rolled the cigarette as well as lighting it. Having read the main article on this film I was wondering if there is any source which explains why this scene was truncated, and why it "does not appear in any commercial release". There's no other information pertaining to this ambiguity save for the quoted sentence. PCLM (talk) 17:49, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Addition to the References in other Media

In the Goon comic Book Volume 0 number 3 The character of The Goon is shown to have lived in a Freakshow. In the panels talking about his story,the characters of the movie are easilyrecognizable, you can recognize Pip and Zip and they even say the words: Gobble Gobble One of Us! This is a clear reference to the movie and it should be mentioned on the list.bloodawn5 (talk) 23:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
