Cliffhanger: Richard Travers (Rex Linn)

Comments for death : Cliffhanger: Richard Travers (Rex Linn).

Interestingly, from what I've read, originally Travers was supposed to get shot by Hal. In the original version, Gabe shoots Travers through the ice with the bolt gun but then Hal arrives with Delmar's shotgun and shoots Travers. For whatever reasons, though, they changed it; they just reused the shot of Gabe firing the bolt gun, and when Travers is reeling from being hit, he's reeling from being shot with a shotgun. This explains why Hal appears to be lowering the weapon as he runs up.

Correct, Koosh. It was one of the many cuts the MPAA made to make the film an 'R'. Another trims include slow-mo shootings and Kynette's impaling, which is made even more prolonged.

Shouldn't this be Baddy(major) as Travers was the one who arranged to have the money transfered and also played a major role in other ways?

I guess. He's at least as major a villain as Qualen.

The original death of Travers where Hal shoots him with the shotgun is NOT cut to obtain an R rating. From what ive heard Renny Harlin And Sylvester Stallone liked to have a more ''slick'' death scene. Still this is my fav death in the movie next to Delmar's death
