Maybe he just didn't burn LONG ENOUGH at the end of the original part 2!

Anyone think of that?

Takes a while to die from burning from what I see, ummmm, places here and there.

Seriously, a religious nut who lived around here went in the woods and poured gas on himself and lit it up, burned for 20 minutes or so but lived 3-4 days past that. He was coherent at the hospital too, said he was trying to "burn out the demon". Then the other night I saw a story on Homicide Hunter where a bi-polar girl went and did the same thing and lived a few days after the burning (not sure how long she was ablaze). So if a normal human can live after being burned for 20 minutes, 5-10 minutes is hardly a flesh wound for Michael!

I agree, I'm not saying it's impossible to survive it. What I'm saying is if it didn't work the first time why would she wait 40 years just to try it again?

In those 40 years you would think she could come up with a better plan than that. Not to mention if they were to have made this film follow H2, it would have been a repetitive ending.

On why try again I would guess (this is just debate club coming out), that he escaped the first time as he wasn't trapped, but this time he was locked in tight in her basement where he could burn for a long, long time.

As for the second part of your quote, surely she could've found some acid or lye or something in the last 40 ****ing years, so I'm with you there! Don't recall them ever trying to crush him in any of the films either. Americans, no imagination!

See, I don't have a problem with having the Shape burn at the end, because in this current timeline, they didn't try it yet. All Laurie knows is that he survived being shot 6 times and falling off a balcony. It makes sense that she would think he could die by burning alive in a trap.

But had it been the other way around and this film followed after H2, then I would have a problem and it would make no sense (at least to me).

I just think from a storyline perspective it would make much more sense that she would try something different after that. (Ala chopping off his head in Ressurection)
