Mel Gibson of 'Mad Max'?
Mel Gibson of 'Mad Max'?
Who knew that Mel Gibson's character Mad Max inspired Gillian Seed's appearence in 'Snatcher'? I sure as hell didn't. I always figured it was an obvious homage to 'Blade Runner'.

Re: Mel Gibson of 'Mad Max'?
Ehrm... where was this at? Gillian kind of looks like what would've happened if Mel Gibson replaced Harrison Ford in Blade Runner, though.Missing wrote:Who knew that Mel Gibson's character Mad Max inspired Gillian Seed's appearence in 'Snatcher'?

Well, assuming that they've not taken that from something Kojima's said, it's a question of perception, isn't it?
I can see the similarity though:
EDIT: Oh, well, look at me, I'm FortuneCity, and despite being presumably a large area of Internet land built on unneccessarily plenitudinous wealth (of which I am unashamedly boastful about, going so far as to define myself by it), I'm not going to allow anyone to hotlink any images hosted on my probably stupidly, needlessly tremendous establishment, preferring them to be metaphorically sodomised by my vast system of pointless adverts, lest they use up a bunch of kilobytes that I'm probably not going to bother with anyway. Basically what I'm saying is that I'm a prick, and very much an expansive, substantial prick. Hello.
Yes, well, anyway, what's more likely is that 1up.com are just being wrong. That's a possibility, surely?

Gillian Seed was definitely more Mel Gibson than Harrison Ford. He definitely served as the basis for Gillian at least.
Also, many might not know this, but Jamie herself was also designed and named after another sci-fi character, Jamie Sommers (the Bionic Woman). She even has Lindsay Wagner's hairstyle.

www.sdsnatcher.net has quite a nice section about SD Snatcher origins in general.

I know I rag on American gaming journalism a whole lot (mainly because there's no journalism involved for the most part, it's mainly just a bunch of hype, for examples of real gamng journalism check out insertcredit.com or many of the gaming blogs that have been popping up in the last couple of years), but it sounds like this was just another ill-researched mistake on 1up.com's part.
