I wondered the same… LOL

I was wondering that as well. It’s also unclear whether or not the trap has wheels of any kind or if it just “slides” into position.

Dangling cables are part of the GB aesthetic, though. 😉

Wires really bother me in film, like telephone wires, but cables on the other hand I kinda like, as long as there aren’t too many. Either way I seriously like both the first trap and the new trap a lot, first one is still quite a bit better though 🙂

That would be giving Fieg too much credit of movie knowledge.
