2:33 I love how Quaritch gives a nod of "thanks".

[TimberWolf]

I just love how badass the colonel is firing without a breathing mask. That’s totally badass

The atmosphere of Pandora is 18% CO2 and 1% H2SO4. Quaritch isn't just firing a weapon with superb accuracy while holding his breath, he's doing it while his eyes and nostrils are burning.

Colonel Quaritch. Politely advises everyone if impending gas and to prepare while not caring for himself like a badass. Braces himself for a good standing firing position. Good shoulder position weapon tight to body. Proper iron sight alignment on target. Begins firing controlled bursts on target. Upon firing all ammunition in rifle, checks to ensure it is clear then quickly drawing sidearm. Again braces himself for a good sidearm position. Only after he has been a badass for long enough does he agree to breathe. Quaritch is a g

Blain Cooper: I ain't got time to bleed

Colonel Quaritch: I ain't got time to breathe

I still don't understand how Cameron and Lang manage to make Quaritch literally the most badass one dimensional character.

[camdawg]

Notice how Q announces “MASK ON” before kicking the door open? He isn’t even wearing a mask but he still cares about the safety of his staff. Throughout the movie he doesn’t give hardly any concern to his safety, while trying to save his species. He’s focused on one goal:Saving humans. Truly a wonderful subtly complex character.

The irony of this scene is Grace had taunted Quaritch in the scenes before saying “What are you going to do, shoot me?”

Quaritch responded with “I can do that”

[philipcearley]

The look on Quaritch's face, he is very pissed that one of his own pilot betrayed him.

[daneyal]

Honestly, even though he is the villain of the movie, Quartich is actually pretty badass. Tbh, If the situation was different, I'd be happy to serve as a soldier under his command.

[zivenwitczak]

I love how when he puts the mask on he doesnt gasp, just breaths in deeply with a pissed off sound

[everything]

I love how he yells “MASK ON” before kicking the door open that’s a bad right there

[stuartwesthall]

I also love how Quaritch takes a split second to check that his gun isn't jammed as opposed to being empty before he ditches it in favour of his pistol. And the way that you can see fragments of glass spalling off into the gunship's cockpit as the layers soak up the rounds. Little Cameron touches I feel that just ground the whole thing in reality.

[ЭльвираРомашич]

Colonel Quaritch was honestly the most interesting character in the entire movie.

[realmoviefan]

I love how Quaritch angrily throws the file, grabs the gun of the soldier kicks the door and shoots.

[peika]

I wish many movie general be like this, talk big but can still backup with their skills

[noxluxe]

I wouldn't be surprised if Cameron came up with the 'humans can't breathe the air on Pandora' thing JUST for this scene.

[Lolok]

I also love how a door simply keeping the humans alive on the other side can easily be kicked down by the Colonel

[derpserious]

Makes sense, his accuracy improves because he held his breath while shooting from a far distance…

[stuartwesthall]

I've always loved the little almost throwaway detail in this scene where the female soldier yells Gas Gas! " and makes what I think is the standard military hand gesture to warn of NBC attack.
