Waterworld (2/10) Movie CLIP - He's a Mutant! (1995) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When the Elders discover that the Mariner (Kevin Costner) is a mutant, they capture him and plan to put him on trial.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Widely considered to be an expensive failure, Waterworld was an epic vehicle for Kevin Costner, who starred in and co-produced the film, with his friend Kevin Reynolds as director. It was based on a 1986 screenplay by Peter Rader and cost an estimated $235 million, more than any film in history up to that time. Costner eventually fired Reynolds and directed the last few scenes himself. The story was filmed in Hawaii, using several artificial islands, and is set in an apocalyptic future, after global warming has melted the polar ice caps and flooded civilization. The Mariner (Costner) is one of the human beings who has adapted by growing gills. The survivalist lives on a boat on which he is growing a precious tomato plant. He tries to sell the plant and its dirt to the residents of an artificial island built of industrial waste. They imprison him when they discover that he's a mutant with gills. But the island is attacked by the Smokers, a group of oil-guzzling raiders on jet skis headed by the Deacon (Dennis Hopper). The Mariner escapes with Helen (Jeanne Tripplehorn) and her daughter Enola (Tina Majorino). Back at sea, the Smokers repeatedly attack, using planes and boats, until they kidnap Enola. Enola's back is tattooed with a map showing how to get to Dryland, the last unflooded area on Earth. But Deacon, who needs to get to Dryland to replenish the Smokers' oil supply, can't immediately decipher it.

HIT US UP:

[karcinoma]

That woman up in the corner gleefully asking for them to kill him, really ties the scene together.

[CliffordBreeden]

He traded fair and declined to spread his mutated genes. I'd invite him to come back anytime he likes.

[daffyphack]

Personally, I would not try to fight a gill-man in the water, but that's just me.

[BigV-yxbw]

You'd think having gills would be considered a strong gene trait in a Water World

[filipzawistowski]

That "Kill him, yes kill him" woman has annoyed me since my childhood. My dad always said she was probably the director's niece :D

[VinnyRidgeMedia]

Wanna fight someone with gills? Tackle him into the water.

[thesnakeman]

In my opinion, if they left him alone and let him leave it would have been just another day, and they would still be alive. Probably even before they were attacked, too

[bartolomeestebanmurillo]

It's implied the Mariner is a descendant of genetically engineered humans designed to live in the water.

[Mio]

0:07 😂
This guy’s the embodiment of anyone who believes in any conspiracy and gets misinformed. Dude blew his own damn mind.

[swa]

Mind boggling detail: this whole scene was shot on a floating set on open water off the coast of Hawaii, even though the interior of the atoll is completely enclosed AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE OCEAN! They could have done all the interior atoll scenes on a set back in LA and no one would have noticed the difference!

[killbot]

1:48 - That was the moment the sheriff saved his own life without realising it

[johnr.timmers]

I can never unsee Monty Python and The Quest for the Holy Grail in this scene. "Witch! Burn her!"

[jmanners]

But wouldn't gills be useful in a world where everywhere is water?

[sdqthyl]

this was like one of the best movies ever made in my opinion

[josephanthonnydeez]

1:12 I don't know about you but I don't think it's a good idea to attack a mutant fishman underwater... with a knife.

[raterus]

So this fighting all could have been avoided if he just waited for the "Elder"

[repomand]

Everyone’s talking about attacking a gilled man in the water but I’m wondering how hard it is to swim in ski boots.

[marvelmax]

Nice to see Professor X's dream survived in the future...

[sigma]

1:57 is me when I play as Abby and see her backstory in The Last of Us Part II for the first time.

[taluca]

Ngl, a man in a world where the world is now just world and he develops gills is a sign of human evolution
