Missed TF opportunities in film

But she wasn't shot through the eye, so any wolf that got up with a hole in it's head wasn't her. Those werewolves could survive anything except silver and it was presumed that fire could kill them as well. In human form it didn't appear that they still possessed that invulnerability to normal weapons. She died from that shot, there was no hint that she lived, and she certainly didn't TF under a table. Regardless of whether she survived a bullet to the brain while in human form and TF'd off screen later (which there is no indication of that happening) she still would have died when the house exploded. As those were apparently werewolves who could die from fire as well as silver, some myths say that silver, fire, or another werewolf are the only things that can kill werewolves, unless they are in human form then they die as easily as anyone else.

As I saw it, she was already partially into the transformation which gave her some invulnerability - but I'll check it out again tomorrow.

Just finished Hellboy 2 on DVD. Seeing the scene again reminded me of how I was hoping for a shot in the theaters - when the forest elemental is dying and the plants sprout up wherever his blood drips - how interesting it would have been to see that interact with human tissue. Either winding up with nymphs or people turning into trees or something.

Similarly would like to see a some live action film demonstrating something like the TPB "The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot" (really need the animated series on DVD) by Frank Miller and Geoff Darrow where people turn into weird creatures when monstrous saliva drips on them - even partially transforming the Big Guy. I think there have been one or two short animation bits that have demonstrated something along those lines, but nothing in live action/cgi.

Ok, just watched it again with the commentary on - as the director says - one of the werewolves that shows up right before the SGT lights the gas hose in the kitchen at the end is missing an eye because it was Meghan and she was shot in the eye partially through the TF (right after you saw her yellow eyes and fangs).

Edit: Well after watching it again I guess that's how it happened. I remembered it differently. But it still didn't happen under any table, that was the male officer from much earlier, that much I was right about.

I thought they were making a sequel to this, or was that idea thrown out?

Here's one that I came across while aimlessly browsing through Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Breed_(2006_film)

A group of friends are on an island with a wild population of genetically enhanced attack dogs. One girl gets bitten and starts exhibiting canine behaviour, but it seems like she dies before there's any real sort of TF. Also, there seems to be implied TF at the end, but it's male.

Here's the trailer anyway:

Never Cry Werewolf squandered a really great opportunity for a female TF: Nina Dobrev is so frikking hot.



She gets infected at ~1:20, has some slight eye TFs at ~4:00 and ~5:00, but that's it.
