If you are a fan of Rob Zombie's Halloween 3-hour documentary, then this sequence with Ken Foree and Tyler Mane where two big guys duke it out in a truck wash bathroom stall will be especially memorable. It was meticulously storyboarded and obvious that Zombie created Big Grizz with Foree in mind. While Zombie's buddies from previous films (Easterbrook, Towles, and Moseley) were mostly relegated to extras after their scene was cut from future releases of Halloween, Foree made it through intact. It isn't a particularly long scene, but the sheer brute struggle and physicality leaves a lasting impression. I smile when I think about how Foree was concerned he would look weak in the scene but Zombie does enough to establish that he doesn't go down without a fight.
If you think about it, this whole turn of events was due to the simple truth that Michael wanted Big Grizz's uniform. It was a minor objective succeeded through a major brawl involving a knife that is the tool to obtain the prize of the uniform. Michael wins. This scene allows Foree to deliver choice dialogue centered around shitting in the commode. Dropping loads and releasing the beast in peace give Foree the Zombie zingers that have entertained horror/exploitation fans since the director debuted with House of 1000 Corpses in 2003.
