For some reason I can’t get over how dynamic that shot of the trap sliding out was. The editing was cool too, with the pedal thing flying off the back, and landing at one of their feet. Real groovy stuff.

It also looked like a complicated setup, why use wireless technology just to have it spit out the pedal instead of opening the trap with the remote?

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.

…I’m guessing they designed it this way so they don’t have too many dangly cables getting in the way of the action while still allowing for the classic imagery of the foot pedal…plus it just looks cool!

Dangling cables are part of the GB aesthetic, though.

You’re not wrong, but most of us aren’t doing proton cartwheels with our gear…or at least not sober anyway!

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

WTF is the point of sucking ghosts into a chipper? Just to look cool?

Look cool, provide a different bit of memorable technology, maybe even give us a sight gag.

Who knows, maybe Feig loved Peter Jackson’s Braindead.

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