    Rip van Winkle #8
    Rip actually doesn't "pass over the hill/mountain" despite what the title implies. The film actually ends with him halfway to the top of the rock, so apparently he couldn't make it since he could barely walk at all anyway. It's also possible Dickson wanted to end the saga with a cliffhanger. CLIFFhanger! Get it? Yuck Yuck Yuck!

    Jefferson once again does a nice job playing Rip as an old man, as he did in the previous installment and when he played the role on the stage--which was how he became selected for the part. It once more pays to see the all the installments put together, because then you'll get a better idea of the narrative and what the filmmakers were trying to do. But the average person nowadays wouldn't really take interest at all anyway and the entire series is more of a curiosity for people interested in the earliest years of cinema.
