"Wanna Run That By Me Again?" |
Better If You Weren’t Seen Without Me A weird last letter from dad. “…They will stop at nothing. Stop them.”
Then a conversation with Speedy, to whom he says: “I have to be alone. It’d be better if you weren’t seen without me for a while.”

"Alas, Poor Yorick" |
Die, Ratbag! Speedy poses as a mailman and delivers a bag of rats to Jackson. He puts the bag on the drug dealer’s head and lets nature do the rest. Bad FX!

"Whoops!" |
Continuity Can Be a Pain in the Neck OH MY GOOOOD! Baddie tries to get away via the stairs. Charlie catches up and hurls a shuriken into the back of his neck. He screams OH MY GOOOOOOD! and yanks the shuriken out and tosses it away. Then after a brief blip that must have been an edit, he gets katanaed by the Big Bad (Shabato, no surprise) and in his death throes, he turns around. You can clearly see a shuriken in his neck where there was none a second before!

“Eeeeegh! Eeeeagh!” Bad fight scene with horrifically amateurish martial arts and terrible noises. Looks like a playground brawl. The constant screaming is hilarious.
