Talk:The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Part I)

I'm pretty sure the shark was dressed up in Brock's clothes and hair, they weren't just in a pool of blood. Edited accordingly.

On the goofs; actually when Brock initially notices an engine getting hit the explosion is on the right side of the plane. But as the camera pans out aftre he says the starboard engine is out the engine on the left is on fire. So either both engines got put out of commission or the whole thing is goofed up. I'd go for this not being a goof and Brock being correct about the starboard engine. --Rifter0x0000 (talk) 21:35, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Herr Trigger"

I might be alone on this, but I also got the impression that his appearance and mannerisms in that sequence were possibly a visual gag on the Aeon Flux series and the characters there. In addition, of course, to the possibly more obvious references to The Terminator's motorcycle chase scene. 24.128.63.214 (talk) 22:34, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Herr Trigger was not inspired by Aeon Flux --PseudoChron (talk) 03:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I actually thought Aeon Flux too. Glad I was not alone! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.107.39.123 (talk) 03:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, all the licking of the weapon reminded me of AF as well. Go Fish reminded me of the old Aquaman villian, the Fisherman. ---emb021. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.182.158.153 (talk) 18:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that he is East German and a biathlon champion is clearly a reference to an KGB assassin from the James Bond movie, For Your Eyes Only. Why was it removed? Hell, why were the other references relating to the hired assassins removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.201.113 (talk) 11:27, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing... the French assassin's outfit. KRAVEN THE HUNTER?! Anyone?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.70.201.113 (talk) 12:06, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because they were unsourced speculation.

If you're guessing something's a reference, or you think it's a reference, or you're sure it's a reference, don't add it to the article. If a reliable source says it's a reference, then you add it to the article. There are projects devoted to guessing at all the references (TV Tome and the VB Wikia come immediately to mind) but this is emphatically not it. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:14, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for ruining a few interesting pages on Venture episodes "A Man In Black." Where are people supposed to cite information for stuff like this? There aren't periodicals that publish Venture Brothers references. No one at home is going "MY GOD HENRY KILLINGER IS A REFERENCE TO HENRY KISSINGER - CAN THEY PROVE THAT!?" No. A few of the 'cultural references' might be speculation, but you're using the OR rule in places I think it should be left out. Aside from asking Adult Swim, how are you supposed to prove any of their cultural references?

It still stands that they are beneficial to the viewers of the show, and interesting to the fans. You're just being a jerk.

"Hunter Gathers's Car"

When I saw what Hunter's car could do, I immediately thought of the video game "Spy Hunter" as it also had a forward shooting machine gun and an oil slick it could use. When Brock shot a pedestrian car by accident (a common mistake in the game, causing you to stop gaining points for a set period of time) I felt this clinched it. Does anyone else feel the same? 144.13.101.203 (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pixelated Hotel Name

Anybody know why the hotel sign is obscured and what it actually says? 82.45.53.159 (talk) 11:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
