: : The technology was definitely a rip off... : : On what do you base the comment that it was way too big? : : SPOILERS for people who haven't seen End of Days and want to: : I say it was a rip-off because the storylines are very similar: A very capable Arnie battles an indestructible, shape-shifting villain to a standstill in an effort to save humanity from destruction, then has to kill himself at the end to save the world. He even launches a grenade at the main villain, which blows it to bits but doesn't quite kill it, in both movies. : As for the size of the Balrog, I don't know, I just got the impression it wouldn't have been that big. It says somewhere that Balrogs were "man-shaped, though greater," and I take that to mean they probably weren't 30 feet high. I allways had the same felling with the demon from The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy ... Though I feel the body or corpus shoud be more powerful...
