Title: Ripcord
Post by: Kronz on December 26, 2008, 05:03:31 PM: Do you think the reason we didn't get Ripcord is because he is going to be played by Marlon Wayans in the movie?

:D

They should have just called the character Stalker in the movie.

Except that "Stalker"meant "bad ass" scary in the 80s. Sometime in the 90s it came to mean "creepy" scary.
