Kaltxi!

So in a "behind the scenes" clip on youtube (courtesy of another poster in another thread), which can be found here: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

If you listen at around 4:00 the stunt coordinator says that Quaritch had been using an AMP suit for 6-7 years. This might help a little with the time-line that some of us are theorizing on.

Granted, it isn't James Cameron that made the statement so that makes the claim a little weaker. Also, this could have been the time-frame for the AMP suits being deployed on Pandora and Quaritch could have been there earlier, minus an AMP suit.

Thoughts?

Well, they use AMP suits on earth as well, so I don't think this is a good basis for how long he's been on Pandora.

"Not designed for Pandora, but suit is effective protection from toxic plants, swarms of stinging, aggressive insects, and other biting creatures."

So Quaritch was not necessarily on Pandora for 6-7 years as they were made for use on Earth.

Kaltxi!

Irayo for those points, I had forgot that they were used on Earth also. :/

Well, back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the behind the scenes, it was really interesting.

In the first part of BTS one moment caught my attention, I don't recall seeing this in the movie. I have only seen it twice, so I could be wrong. Does anyone know if this scene got cut out of the movie?

I'm pretty sure that one is in the movie. It's towards the end when all the clans gather. You see Jake standing on a root with toruk next to him.

Okay thanks. I guess I don't have a good memory (which is really nice when you see a movie often).  ;D
