Did You Know?
| Trivia | The French-speaking cast struggled with the English dialogue, and some actors simply remembered their lines phonetically. The footage was then overdubbed by actual English speakers, who had to follow the odd speech rhythms of the actors. See more » |

| Quotes |
Elizabeth, the monster:
Peek A Boo Father. Father Percival: [Victoria scares Father Percival with her fingers] Aaaahhh. Victoria, the monster: [Victoria hands over a machine gun to Father Percival] You know that we respect you Percival, yes. A man of God isn't just anyone. Elizabeth wants to torture you before we kill you, but i insisted that it be dearly painless because we like you very much Percival. Every time you smash a students fingers with a ruler, i say to my self... He's a vicious man, a bad priest. And we like bad priests, so pull the trigger. Why suffer, otherwise it's her way. And i promise you, your vocal cords will split. What do you think of that Percival. Elizabeth, the monster: Don't listen to her. If you commit suicide, you know what's waiting for you. A priest who kills himself, hahahaha. You want to be damned, for just a few minutes of suffering you save your soul. No Percival, let me look after you. Be strong just once in your boring life, just once. Victoria, the monster: But what she isn't telling you Percival, it's not her who's going to have her eyes pulled out. Or her knees broken, or her stomach eaten out. It's so hard for her, right sister. Think about Percival, i hope you see it all clearly. She's just waiting for you to play martyr, so she can make a human hamburger out of you. Don't let her do it, Percival. Kill yourself. After all, You never were a good priest. Father Percival: NOOOOO... Victoria, the monster: YEEEEESSSS [Father Percival pulls the trigger and shoots himself] Victoria, the monster: . Victoria, the monster: I won, i won. Hahaha. See more » |
