Nightmare Fuel / The One

Go To

  • Yulaw. He's a superhumanly fast and strong One-Man Army with cunning to match and a total disregard for any collateral damage. The attack on the SWAT team in the opening sequence shows how terrifying he is for normal opponents or any of his alternate selves who are unaware of their true power.

  • Imagine the entire movie from Gabe's perspective. During what is supposed to be a routine prisoner transport, you're attacked by a superhuman assailant who looks and sounds just like you. Worried for your sanity, you go for an MRI only to be attacked by him again and this time your friends think you're the one on a killing spree.

  • Now imagine being Gabe's wife TK in this movie. Your husband is accused of going on a killing spree and by the time you discover the person doing it is actually a doppelgänger it is too late.

  • Roedecker's fight against Yulaw. While he holds his own longer than most normal humans would, it becomes more and more obvious just how outmatched he is against the murderous superhuman. He hurts himself headbutting Yulaw, gets his foot stomped into the ground and is ultimately killed by a Neck Snap when he tries to take out both himself and Yulaw with a grenade.

  • Any time Yulaw uses his Superhuman skills against normal people, imagine it from their side, we see it all from Yulaws side, normal people move in Slow Motion to him, in the opening he beats down the entire squad of Lawless' escort, judging from how slow they are moving, his beatdown of them took less than two seconds, that sort of movement, the human eye couldn't keep up with properly, at best guess, that means he looked, to them, as though he was stood still and then Flash Stepping while their friend were falling, there is also the fact that he could lift, in each hand, a police motorcycle, which in general weighs somewhere to the tune of 800ish pounds, so he was lifting 1600 pounds, with no effort, holding the fork, despite having the body frame of, well, Jet Li.
