Story:
Seth Baxter, a convicted murderer, awakens chained to a table beneath a pendulum blade. In order to release himself, he must crush his hands by putting them into two presses and pushing the buttons inside. He does as the video tells him, but the pendulum still swings down and violently cuts him in half. Just before he dies, he sees an eye watching him through a hole in the wall.

In a scene from the end of Saw IV, Agent Peter Strahm kills Jeff Denlon in self-defense. After being sealed in the sickroom, he escapes through a hidden passage, where he is captured by a figure wearing a pig mask. He awakens with his head trapped in a glass box slowly being filled with water; he survives by performing a tracheotomy on himself using a pen to keep him breathing. Outside the meatpacking plant, Detective Hoffman returns Corbett Denlon, Jeff's daughter, to the police. He claims they are the only two survivors, only to be shocked to see Strahm carried out alive as well.

In his will, John Kramer leaves Jill Tuck a box and a videotape, which informs her that the items in the box are of "grave importance". She opens the box using a key around her neck, then leaves without disclosing its contents. Meanwhile, a memorial service is held for the five detectives killed in action; during the memorial, Hoffman is promoted to detective lieutenant by the chief of police. While taking Strahm's phone, he is informed that Strahm's partner, Lindsey Perez, died from her shrapnel wounds. He meets Strahm at the hospital, where Strahm tells him that Perez's last words were "Detective Hoffman." Strahm is taken off of duty by his boss, Dan Erickson, and begins researching past Jigsaw victims, now obsessed with piecing together Hoffman's involvement. Through his research, he learns that Hoffman killed Seth Baxter with the pendulum trap after Seth killed Hoffman's sister, and that John used this information to blackmail Hoffman into working with him. The two worked together to set up most of John's tests, most notably the razor-wire maze and the nerve gas house. Additionally, Hoffman planted the penlight that framed Lawrence Gordon and provided the files for the victims of the gas house. At the end of his quest, Strahm discovers that everyone was meant to die in the meatpacking plant except for Hoffman, who was to be the hero who closed the case.

Meanwhile, five more victims awaken in an underground trap with collars locked around their necks connecting them to mounted razor blades. The keys to their collars are in glass boxes across the room, but moving for them will set off a one-minute timer. All but Ashley retrieve their keys, and she is decapitated when her collar retracts. In the second room, keys must be found in overhead jars in order to unlock three chambers that will protect them from bombs. Charles attacks Mallick and takes his key, but is struck by Luba and is killed when the bombs explode. In the third room, five cables must be connected to a full bathtub to unlock five locks on the door, though none are long enough to reach. Luba attacks Mallick to use his body to close the circuits, but Brit stabs her in the neck and they use Luba's body instead. In the final room, the door must be opened by filling a beaker, positioned in a machine fitted with circular saws, with ten pints of blood. They notice that there are five armholes and realize that all five victims were to work together to survive in every game: In the first test, any of the five keys in the room would have unlocked all the collars; the three chambers in the second test could have easily fit two people; the five victims could have closed the circuit in the third test without receiving a lethal amount of electricity and in the final test the five victims could have provided enough blood to fill the ten pints without experiencing the degree of injury experienced if there were only two. They also realize that all five of them were connected to a building fire that killed eight people. With no other choices, they begin sawing their arms to provide the ten pints.

Hoffman plants Strahm's phone, which is being tracked by Erickson, and Erickson's personnel file in the fifth room, which is found by Erickson when he arrives soon after. He also finds Brit, who managed to crawl out of the fourth room when Mallick passed out from blood loss, and calls for medical assistance, then places an all-points bulletin for Strahm's arrest, as he now believes Strahm to be Jigsaw's second accomplice. Meanwhile, Strahm follows Hoffman to the renovated nerve gas house and makes his way to a small underground room, which contains a clear box filled with broken glass. Hoffman's tape recorder informs Strahm that he must trust him and enter the box, but Strahm stops the tape short and ambushes Hoffman when he arrives, ultimately sealing Hoffman in the box and causing the room to seal itself. Hoffman indicates the tape, which tells Strahm that if he chooses not to, he will "simply vanish" and Hoffman's legacy will become his own. The glass box is lowered safely into the floor as the walls close in on Strahm and crush him to death while he attempts to escape through the ceiling grid.

L² Comment:
I would really wanna praise the intelligence of the script writer to wrap up the storyline of the previous movie with this one. And this creates a kinda spooky feeling which you might feel towards Jigsaw.

This time, the best part will be putting 5 person in several test. They outcasted each other but in the end only realize that they are wrong and they need 5 person to work together to get them alive. FUCK!!! I will fucking kill myself first if i know i was caught in the Saw game :P

Saw 4

Released Year: 2007
Directed by Darren Lynn Bausman

Casted by:
Tobin Bell as Jigsaw/John
Lyriq Bent as Lt. Rigg
Scott Patterson as Peter Strahm
Ahtena Karkanis as Lindsey Perez
Betsy Russell as Jill Tuck
Story:
During John Kramer's autopsy, a wax-coated microcassette is found in his stomach; it is given to Detective Hoffman, whom it informs that he too will be tested, and that the games will continue. Elsewhere, Trevor and Art awaken chained at the neck to a winch; Trevor's eyelids are sewn shut, as is Art's mouth, rendering communication impossible. When the winch activates, Trevor panics and attacks Art, who kills him in self-defense and takes a key from his collar to free himself.

Detective Kerry's body is found by police four days after her disappearance; after Hoffman cautions Lt. Rigg for going through an unsecured door in order to reach her, he meets Peter Strahm and Lindsey Perez, two FBI agents who had previously been in contact with Kerry. They inform Hoffman that a second accomplice is involved in Kerry's murder, as Jigsaw and Amanda Young were both physically incapable of placing her in the trap. Strahm soon becomes suspicious of Rigg, who is convinced that Eric Matthews is still alive. Rigg is later attacked in his home, awakening to discover that Matthews is indeed alive, that he and Hoffman have ninety minutes to save themselves, and that Rigg must go through a series of tests to "discover what it truly means to save a life."

As Rigg progresses through his tests, he finds Brenda, a female pimp whose hair is attached to a winch that tears her scalp; Ivan Landsness, a serial rapist whom Rigg forces into a trap where he must choose between blinding himself or being dismembered; and Rex and Morgan (Ron Lea and Janet Land), an abusive husband and his wife who are in a harness, impaled together with spikes. Morgan asks for his help in removing the last spike, but he tells her that she has to do it herself, and it is later revealed that she was able to. Meanwhile, Strahm and Perez investigate each test scene while also interrogating Jill Tuck, Jigsaw's ex-wife, and soon discover that they are also targets. They also discover that a lawyer named Art Blank, who had vanished two weeks previously, had successfully defended all three victims, as well as Jill. When Perez is hospitalized after an incident involving Jigsaw's puppet, Strahm forces Jill to recount the rest of Jigsaw's background. She had been pregnant with a baby to be named Gideon, but miscarried after a drug addict named Cecil robbed her clinic, because he accidentally slammed a door into her stomach; this and John's subsequent depression ended their marriage. Upon surviving his suicide attempt, John began his work. He targeted Cecil first, placing him in a trap in which he had to push his face through a rack of knives to hit a switch and release himself. The trap collapsed and Cecil lunged at John, only to fall into a tangle of razor wire and die. Strahm connects Jill's story with the Gideon Meatpacking Plant, the location of Rigg's final test.

Strahm arrives shortly after Rigg but ends up trailing Jeff Denlon, who is making his way to the sickroom of the plant. He finds Jeff in the sickroom moments after John dies and kills him in self-defense when Jeff mistakes him for his daughter's kidnapper. In another area of the plant, Rigg locates Matthews and Hoffman, who are monitored by Art; all three can be released by Art when the ninety minutes expire. Rigg, not knowing this, breaks into the room with one second left just as Matthews shoots him, and sets off the traps: two ice blocks swing down and crush Matthews' head, killing him, and the excess water flows toward Hoffman, who's strapped to a chair with electrodes at his feet. Rigg then kills Art, believing him responsible for the traps, and learns from Art's tape recorder that he has failed the test by interfering; Matthews would have lived if Rigg had not tried to save him. An unharmed Hoffman releases himself, revealed to be the second accomplice, severs the monitors' connection and leaves Rigg to die. He seals Strahm in the sickroom with the four corpses and leaves the area just as the scene cuts to Jigsaw's autopsy, which took place after the events of the film.
L² Scored: 8.5/10

L² Comment:
The fucking serial killer Jigsaw was already dead in the previous movie, but his intelligence mind has already thought of how to torture his next victim which is the only officer left, Ltd Rigg. The movie goes on while showing the life of Jigsaw before he become the serial killer.

The whole movie did occur a few shocking scene. The best is when the husband and wife stick together and the wife decided to end her husband's life by pulling out the steel that is stick between their body~ ewww....

Saw 3

Released Year: 2006
Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman

Casted by:
Tobin Bell as Jigsaw/John
Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young
Angus Macfadyen as Jeff
Bahar Soomekh as Lynn Denlon
Dina Meyer as Kerry
Mpho Koaho as Tim
Barry Flatman as Judge Halden
Story:
Minutes after the conclusion of Saw II, Eric Matthews escapes the bathroom by breaking his foot with the remains of a toilet tank lid and slipping it out of the shackle. Later, another Jigsaw victim is discovered by Lt. Rigg and Detectives Kerry and Hoffman. In his test, Troy had to rip chains from his flesh in order to escape from a bomb; however, the door to the room was sealed, making the trap inescapable. This is observed by Kerry, who feels guilty over Matthews' disappearance; she later awakens in a harness hooked into her ribs. She retrieves a key to the harness from a beaker of acid, but the device kills her anyway.

Jeff, a vengeful man unable to cope with the death of his son, and Lynn Denlon, a depressed doctor, are kidnapped under John Kramer's orders. Lynn is brought before John, now bedridden from cancer, by Amanda Young and is given a straightforward game: keep John alive for the duration of Jeff's game. Should John die, or should she try to escape, the collar around her neck will fire five shotgun shells at her head. Jeff awakens in the middle of an abandoned meatpacking plant and is informed that he must go through several tests, which will lead him to "the man responsible for the loss of his child."

In his first test, Jeff enters a freezer and finds Danica, who witnessed the car accident that killed his son Dylan but refused to testify in court. She is naked and chained between two poles spraying ice-cold water at random intervals; she eventually convinces Jeff to help her, but freezes solid before he can retrieve the key. In his second test, Jeff successfully frees Judge Halden, who only sentenced Dylan's killer to six months in prison and was thus a target of Jeff's rage, from the bottom of a vat being filled with liquefied pig corpses by incinerating his late son's toys to retrieve a key. In his third test, Jeff finds Timothy, his son's killer, strapped to a machine that will twist his limbs and neck one by one until they break. He retrieves a key attached to the trigger of a shotgun but accidentally kills Halden when it discharges, and Timothy's neck is broken before he can unlock the device. With his tests nonetheless complete, Jeff moves on to the final area.

Meanwhile, Lynn and Amanda work together to keep John alive. During an improvised brain surgery intended to relieve pressure on John's brain, he begins hallucinating about another woman and declares his love out loud. Distressed from witnessing this, Amanda leaves the sickroom to continue monitoring Jeff. Flashbacks reveal that Amanda continued cutting herself after John became bedridden, and she recollects becoming John's apprentice and kidnapping Adam prior to the events of the first film. Amanda also finds a letter addressed to her, its contents further distressing her. After the surgery, Lynn and John talk privately; Lynn reveals that her ordeal has given her a new appreciation for her family. Amanda returns with the news that Jeff's tests are complete, but refuses to release Lynn; she reveals that she does not believe John's modus operandi and had designed her tests to be inescapable accordingly, including Troy's and Kerry's. She also reveals that she left Eric Matthews for dead and that she had given Adam a mercy killing through suffocation.

Amanda shoots Lynn in the back just as Jeff arrives in the sickroom and he retaliates by shooting her in the neck. John reveals to the dying Amanda that the test was hers: she was being tested on her will to keep someone alive, not knowing that Jeff and Lynn were married. Amanda dies from her wound and John gives Jeff one last test, where he can choose between killing John or forgiving him; John offers to call an ambulance for Lynn if Jeff forgives him. Jeff takes a circular saw, tells John he forgives him, and slashes John's throat. The door to the room seals itself as a dying John plays a tape recorder, which reveals that Jeff has failed his final test by killing John, who was the only person to know the whereabouts of his daughter, Corbett. In order to find her, Jeff must play another game. The tape ends as John dies, and the shotgun collar activates and kills Lynn simultaneously, leaving Jeff trapped with the three corpses as he screams in agony.

L² Comment:
Saw 3 continues as Amanda helps Jigsaw to do his cruel crazy torturing stuff while Jigsaw was badly sick on the bed, but in the end Amanda is the one who are tested and she failed. Our Mr Jigsaw also died in this film. A big shock, are they gonna end this movie? Hell no~ Just wondering how they are gonna film the next movie.

The scariest part this time will be when Lynn do the surgery to open the scull of Jigsaw, omg~ i feel fucking horrible... i think i will never be able to become a doctor~ lol

Story:
The film opens in 1974 at the Glenville Sanatorium with Dr. Ryan showing a local psychiatrist Dr. Ann McQuaid around the psychiatric hospital. The cannibals from the previous films-One Eye , Three Finger, and Saw Tooth now are locked up in the institution as children. But the cannibals escape, savagely murder an orderly, Dr. Ryan and Dr. McQuaid.

The film then switches to present day where a group of college kids, Kenia, lesbian couple Sara and Bridget, Lauren, Jenna , and Claire, along with their guy friends Kyle, Vincent and Daniel are going snowmobiling. They are heading to their friend Porter's cabin in the mountains. They get lost in a storm and seek refuge inside the now abandoned Glenville Sanatorium. Little do they know, the three now adult cannibals are hiding out in the sanatorium and murdering trespassers.

The group of teenagers explore the asylum, and decide to wait out the storm. After a montage of rolling around in wheelchairs, drinking booze and acting like teenagers, the storm still hasn't stopped so the teenagers are forced to sleep in the desolate building. In the middle of the night, Vincent, suffering from insomnia, walks around the asylum and finds Porter's mutilated body-apparently he didn't make it to his cabin either. He is then killed by Saw-Tooth-having a metal rod shoved into his chin and out through the top of his head. The next morning, everyone discovers they are still snowed in, and Vincent is missing. The gang splits up to look for him, and Jenna witnesses the cannibals cutting Porter up. She runs back to tell the others and they all meet up in the auditorium. Something wrapped in Porter's jacket is thrown at them and Kenia opens it up to reveal Porter's severed head. Screaming and panicking, the group flocks around the door, trying to get out but the doors are locked. The three cannibals-up in the balcony, throw down a strip of barbwire and loop it around Claire's neck, pulling her up to the balcony. Kyle tries to save her, but it is to late and the barbwire tightens, severing Claire's head. Horrified, what is left of them (Kenia, Sara, Bridget, Lauren, Jenna, Kyle and Daniel) run outside and try to escape on their snowmobiles. But the engines won't turn and it is revealed that the cannibals had stripped them of their spark plug wires. Lauren sets off to ski down the mountain to retrieve help and the other six run inside to try to defend themselves.

Kenia, Bridget, Sara, Jenna, Kyle and Daniel barricade themselves in an office where they find files on the three cannibals that say the three are deformed and cannibalistic. Sara, armed with a fire poker, Daniel, and Kyle leave to go find more weapons, Kyle remembering the room filled with knives and saws that him, Kenia, Claire and Jenna found while they were searching for Vincent. The three are chased by Three Finger who is also wielding an axe and they find the room filled with knives, lock themselves in and hide, waiting for him to pass. Meanwhile One Eye attempts to break through the door of the office with a drill but Kenia, Bridget and Jenna fend him off. Back with Sara, Kyle, and Daniel, they stock up with an arsenal of knives and other tools, and run back to the others, but on the way Daniel is grabbed by the cannibals and dismembered with a knife. Sara, Bridget, Kenia, Jenna and Kyle go to look for Daniel after hearing his screams. The cannibals are slicing off pieces of Daniel's skin and cooking them in a pot of boiling oil. Kyle is separated from everyone else and discovers the killer clan torturing Daniel. The teenagers devise a plan to catch the cannibals and succeed in trapping them inside a cell. Kyle attempts to set them on fire, but Kenia coaxes him into having the heart and not killing them. Sara, Bridget, Kenia and Jenna go to search for the spark plugs that were stripped from their snowmobiles earlier, and Kyle stands guard outside, but Three Finger manages to pick the lock to get the cell open and Saw Tooth grabs Kyle by the throat and delivers one punch then the screen goes black.

Then Kenia goes to check on Kyle and finds him and the cannibals gone. She runs back to the office with Sara, Bridget, and Jenna and the four girls decide to stay in the room until morning. One of the cannibals appear wearing a potato sack, and the girls stab him to death only to reveal it is Kyle whose tongue was cut out so who couldn't talk and they just mistakenly killed him. The girls then encounter the three cannibals and are chased up into the attic. They find some old winter clothes and put them on and then run back down to the main floor and try to escape through a window. To their dismay, they are all grated, except for one where the grate is bent. Sara rips away the grating and shatters the glass and the girls climb through the window and out into the snow. But Jenna-who climbs through last-doesn't make it and is killed with a drill. Kenia, Sara and Bridget run away into the snow pursued by the cannibals on the teenager's snowmobiles. Bridget is captured, but escapes using her knife to stab the killer in the arm. Kenia is wounded, and Bridget is killed. Morning starts to come, and it is revealed that Lauren had frozen to death, just a few yards from a road. It switches to the cannibal chasing Kenia on the snowmobile, but Sara hits him with a log.

The two then board the snowmobile and drive off into the snow--but they run into a barbwire fence and are both decapitated. Three Finger then appears, grabs the girl's heads, throws them into the back of the yellow tow truck that appeared in the first film. Hops in himself and him and the other cannibals drive off and the film ends.

Pip Torrens as Lofty Thaddeus Worthington
Dan Roberts as Tailfeather
Brian Lonsdale as Toughwood
Olivia Williams as Victoria
Tim Curry as General Von Talon
Story:
In May 1944, 5 years since the declaration of World War II, three Royal Homing Pigeon Service war pigeons are flying across the English Channel with the White Cliffs of Dover in sight, carrying vital messages to Great Britain. Despite the poor weather conditions the pigeons have nearly reached their destination. They are, however, suddenly ambushed and attacked by a German enemy falcon called General Von Talon; two of the pigeons are instantly killed, yet the third is taken as a prisoner of war.

Elsewhere a small wood pigeon named Valiant is watching an Allied forces propaganda film in his local bar (an overturned rowing boat) in West Nestington. Wing Commander Gutsy, a war hero flies into the bar, informing everyone that signups are scheduled the next day in Trafalgar Square, London. In General Von Talon's lair, Mercury (the captured prisoner of war) resists interrogation by his captors. Valiant flies off to London, bidding his mother and Felix, the local barman, goodbye. In London, Valiant meets a filthy pigeon named Bugsy, who is wanted by two thugs. In order to escape the wrath of the thugs, he signs up with Valiant.

The recruits, Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty, an intellectual red pigeon, and Toughwood and Tailfeather, two strong but dim-witted twin brothers, form Royal Homing Pigeon Service Squad F, and are sent to a recruit training facility. Under the command of Sergeant, who declares that he will toughen them up for the RHPS, the training begins. Meanwhile, Von Talon and his henchmen try numerous attempts to discover the message's departure location. However Mercury refuses to tell, despite the tortures inflicted upon him, such as irritating him with yodelling music and injecting him with truth serum, before Mercury accidentally reveals the location: Saint-Pierre.

Throughout the training, Valiant develops a crush on Victoria, the camp's nursing dove. Eventually, Gutsy arrives and tells the Sergeant that the recruits need to leave the next morning, despite their training being vastly incomplete. Bugsy, however, decides not to go on the "highly dangerous" mission and flees the camp that night. The next morning, Valiant and the others prepare to leave and start to board the plane headed for France, but not before Bugsy shows up at the last second. The journey becomes extremely perilous, as the plane is caught in the midst of dogfight. Their plane sustains heavy damage and the pigeons soon have to bale out, in boxes equipped with parachutes. The pigeons are dropped from the plane; however a technical malfunction causes Gutsy's box to fail to deploy. The plane goes down in an inferno of flames, presumably killing Gutsy in the resulting explosion.

In France, the pigeons meet Charles de Girl and Rollo, two mice from the French Resistance, Mouse Division, the latter being an expert saboteur who lead them to Saint-Pierre, where they receive the message they have been ordered to deliver. They soon come under attack by Von Talon's henchmen, resulting in Bugsy and the message being captured. Von Talon takes the message from Bugsy and decides to cage him up and eat him later. Valiant and the troops follow Bugsy to the falcon's bunker, where they discover that Gutsy has survived the plane crash. Valiant takes advantage of his small size and sneaks into the bunker through the gun barrel, retrieves the message, and frees Bugsy and Mercury. Unfortunately, the falcons are alert and give chase. As Gutsy and the others fend off Von Talon's henchmen, Valiant flies to London to deliver the message, followed closely by Von Talon.

After a climactic chase by the falcon, Valiant hides in the cottage where he lives, where he is attacked by Von Talon again. With the help of his mother and Felix, Valiant finally defeats the villain by getting a giant hook caught on his medals, leaving him to be beaten senseless by the water wheel. Valiant delivers the message, and is rewarded with a Dickin Medal. After receiving the Dickin Medal, Squad F returns to the local bar in West Nestington, where Valiant reunites with Victoria.

This is not really a Walt Disney production, but from UK animation production. Walt Disney only bought it over to showcast in USA only. Ok, back to the story. This cartoon is make to praise those pigeon during world war II. Dickin Medals were given to 32 pigeons during that time.

Just fyi, Dickin Medals is a medal which give to animals whom help to save human beings~ So this is definitely a good cartoon to watch. But for entertainment purposes? Well, its not really that attractive :P

Scary Movie 4

Released Year: 2006
Directed by David Zucker

Casted by:
Anna Faris as Cindy Campbell
Regina Hall as Brenda Meeks
Craig Bierko as Tom Ryan
Bill Pullman as Henry Hale
Leslie Nielsen as President Harris
Carmen Electra as Holly
Story:
The film opens with Shaquille O'Neal and Dr. Phil waking up to find their ankles chained in a bathroom. They have only two minutes to escape as their host, Billy the Puppet, reveals that the room is filling up with nerve gas. Phil realises they have to cut through their own ankles, but accidentally saws off the wrong foot, inadvertently leaving both men to die, for their bones are seen later in the movie.

In New York, Cindy Campbell visits her former brother-in-law Tom Logan. Since the previous film, her husband George has died and her nephew Cody has been sent to military school, leaving her a broken and lonely woman. Tom, equally depressed despite being in a relationship with three girls, tries to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. However, he mistakenly ingests Viagra, resulting in a painful death when he tumbles over the balustrade and lands on his absurdly erect penis.

Distraught, Cindy accepts the job of caring for an incapacitated old lady, Mrs. Norris, who lives in a creepy and obviously haunted house which Tom had previously recommended her for. Meanwhile, Cindy's new neighbour, Tom Ryan, runs into George's old friends, Mahalik and CJ, who unintentionally reveal they had a homosexual one night stand since taking a trip to the mountains, much to Tom's disgust and CJ's embarassment. Tom returns home, where his ex-wife Marilyn has just arrived with his children, Robbie and Rachel, both of whom resent their father.

The next morning, Cindy confides with Tom, leading to a conversation about their past relationships. Cindy sadly remembers the tragic death of her husband George Logan during the last match of her boxing career against dimwitted Tiffany Stone. When Stone turned around to pick up a nickel, Cindy tries to swing at her but misses and loses her balance. George notices that she is about to land on a stool, and he jumps in the way to save her but he accidentally kills himself which results in a chain reaction of multiple people breaking their necks and dying. As the two realize their love for each other and kiss, the sky suddenly experiences a freak storm. A gigantic object called triPod emerges from the ground to play "Karma Chameleon" – before switching to "Destroy Humanity", transforming into a mobile weapon that vaporizes people into dust and ashes. Cindy runs back home and encounters the house’s resident ghost, Toshio. The Japanese boy reveals that the answer to the invasion lies in his father’s identity. Tom chooses to part ways with Cindy and flees with his children to an undisclosed location.

While visiting Edna R. Penhall Elementary School, President Baxter Harris receives news of the alien attack. Unfortunately, Harris is more interested by the reading of "My Pet Duck" and fails to respond appropriately. The situation only worsens when his aide explains that the duck dies, which culminates in a violent riot by the children. Later, at an emergency session of the United Nations, Harris follows a round of offensive jokes with the unveiling of a weapon designed to combat the aliens. Scientists have modified the heat ray into having the opposite effect of destroying clothes. The UN gets an unexpected and quite unwelcome demonstration when Harris unwittingly causes the ray to render everybody stark naked, beginning with himself.

Cindy reunites with her old friend Brenda Meeks, now a local reporter despite having died in the previous film. The pair manage to find the last working car and follow the directions left by Toshio. Soon, they discover a mysterious village which resembles a pseudo-Amish community. Unfortunately, they are captured and taken into a court to have their fate decided by village leader Henry Hale. During the trial, Hale's blind daughter, Holly, stumbles into the courtroom thinking she's alone she strips and has a large bowel movement in front of everyone. To the consternation of the crowded courtroom, Hale rules that Cindy and Brenda may stay in the village, but never leave.

In a nearby field strewn with red weed, Tom and his children run into a battle between the US military and the triPods. Robbie decides to join the fight, excited by the graphic violence. While Tom tries to dissuade him, Michael Jackson tries to persuade Rachel to come along – but Tom manages to stop her in time, leaving the singer to be repeatedly disintegrated until only his nose remains. Tom and Rachel flee into a house guarded by the lunatic Oliver, but their respite is short-lived when father and daughter are captured by a triPod. Back in the village, Henry gets stabbed by the mentally challenged Ezekiel. A dying Henry explains to Cindy and Brenda that he is the father of Toshio, who was killed during the mass accident at Cindy’s boxing match. However, various events conspire against Henry revealing the full story, finally culminating in Cindy and Brenda being caught by the Command triPod.

The main characters wake up in the same bathroom from the opening. Cindy and Brenda find themselves wearing "Venus Fly Traps" and Tom wearing an absurd device designed to shoot a pole up his behind. Then Billy appears on a monitor and tells them Cindy has 60 seconds to retrieve the key. After much prompting, Cindy realises that she has to retrieve the key from behind her eye – which she does without trouble, since the key was behind a glass eye she got following a “bad bar fight in '96”. Then both Rachel and Robbie come down from the ceiling, to be sliced into pieces unless Tom holds onto their rope, leaving him open to another, ultimately lethal torture device where his kids would be saved but he would suffer a terrible death. Moments before his imminent death, Cindy finds photos in the toilet of Billy with Henry's wife and Toshio. Realising that Billy was the boy's biological father and the entire invasion is revenge for his son’s death, Cindy pleads him to call off the invasion. After seeing how far Tom would go to save his children's lives at the cost of his own, Billy spares their lives and grudgingly apologizes for killing millions of people and allows them to depart.

In an epilogue set nine months later, Brenda gives birth to the child of Billy's brother Zoltar, CJ and Mahalik resume their relationship, and President Harris is seen sleeping with a duck. James Earl Jones narrates mankind's victory through love – before being run over by a passing bus. Meanwhile, Tom appears on Oprah, crazy for attention. Ultimately, following various increasingly destructive antics, Tom manically throws Cindy off the stage and rushes towards the camera as the screen goes black.

Movie 4 is actually the final chap for the trilogy of Scary Movie, therefore, they actually make it quite big such as making aliens and stuff. Love how Anna Faris & Regina Halls make the film funny, think they are best in doing all these, after all they are famous because of this series, right?

The most funny parody will be the million dollar baby's boxing scene & the brokeback mountain gay scene~ :P lol... Heard that scary movie 5 is coming next year (2012), i hope it is as good as these 4 series :)
