Jumanji (1995) | Van Pelt Released from the Game | Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt

Imagine you always had a bad relationship with your father, and now his doppelganger is hunting you. The game really knows how to mess with its players

[@jacekrypt5199]

What you need to remember is that Van Pelt took the appearance of Alan's father and at the time Alan was angry at his dad but when Alan found out his dad did everything he could to find his son it broke his heart, Not only was he a crazy hunter after Alan he was feeding off Alan's fear that he never got the chance to say sorry to his father, so that alone is why he was terrified of Van Pelt.

It's also a reference to Peter Pan where George Darling (the father) and Captain Hook are traditionally played by the same actor.

Try looking at it from her perspective for a second. The only person (including herself) in her life who has ever believed that she wasn’t insane won’t show her any compassion. She wants him to comfort her for all the genuine suffering she’s been through. *She acknowledges* that he had it worse, but since he won’t admit that she deserved sympathy too (he’s still emotionally a child), it makes her angry at him for being unfair. She expects him to be mature, but instead he’s still stuck as a child. ‘I know you are, but what am I?’ 5:52

I felt that Van Pelt was not only reminiscent of Alan's greatest fear, which was to finally have closure with his father, but also had similar traits to General Zaroff of "The Most Dangerous Game," the villain who got tired of hunting animals and decided that he wanted to hunt human beings as the ultimate sport. Like Rainforth, Alan is a guy who is hunted by a mad man who he must outwit to survive his murderous intent and through a slate of hand or twist of fate is able to gain the upper hand and be triumphant over the villain.

[@FortunateJuice]

At first I thought van pelt shot up the police car because he is from the 19th century and doesn’t know what a car is but now i realize that van pelt isn’t allowed to shoot anyone but Allen so he fired at the car to scare Carl just like how the terminator wasn’t allowed to kill people so it shot up the police cars instead.

[@joelbibeault1169]

It's a stupid excuse though, why is only Van Pelt restricted to hurting only who rolled the dice? Literally nothing else followed that rule, the monkeys attacked everyone, the stampede leveled half the town, the plants attacked everything including said police car, the wasps immediately started stinging everyone, the spiders attacked all of them etc. So why can Van Pelt not hurt anyone other than Alan? I get that their could be a good reason but "he rolled the dice that summoned me not you" just doesn't hold up

[@kegmonkey5648]

@joelbibeault1169 They make this more clear in the animated series. Van Pelt isn't just some human hunter, he's like a demon, a hunter that manifests itself as your greatest fear. If that being were allowed to attack anyone when it was released from the game, the world would be doomed.

[@joelbibeault1169]

​@@Noplayster13 it did not ruin her life. She wasn't locked in an insane asylum, she went to a modern doctor, got modern medicine, went back to a house and a bed every night, still got to see her parents and friends, still could go out to dinner or movies. It was absolutely a traumatic event in her life, but nearly everyone lives through a traumatic event. To say it ruined her life when Alan was dumped naked into a jungle as a child, had to fight tooth and nail to not become a meal for almost 30 years, then gets dumped back into reality with no grasp on almost anything that's around him with all his friends gone and his parents dead is why he laughed at the notion it ruined her life. Like bats chased me I was so scared for like the 5 minutes it happened I couldn't just go back and do the last thing you begged me to do before disappearing which was to roll the fucking dice

[@ApexGale]

Arguing over who had it worse is doing the thing the movie constantly depicts as immature. Alan did have it worse but that does not invalidate how Sarah became socially ostracized and totally alone alongside feeling insane. Jumanji ruined both of their lives, period. This idea is reinforced when Alan reconciles with his father at the end. They both admit they were being immature, and that it doesn't really matter who had it worse.

[@Mecanotech]

nice, i almost forgot that joke.

[@PabloGonzalez-dm3xm]

I like that even though Alan has hunted and killed unimaginable creatures in Jumanji, h never once tried killing Van Pelt (setting traps, hunting, etc). In the animated series, they reveal that Van Pelt is one of the immortal dieties lf Jumanji, so he knew his efforts would be wasted. Yes, it might be a convenient work-around to keep things PG, but its a nice touch made by a spin-off.

[@dragonlogos1]

Well I think that makes sense as he is played by the same actor as Alan father. So not just a hunter that happens to be that but a dark force using a form as psychological warfare.

[@RandoGrunt]

I thought it was said somewhere that anyone who manages to successfully (and somehow) off Van Pelt becomes his replacement. Which makes it a little bit more chilling that Van Pelt is well aware of his role within the confines of the game and only goes after his target.

[@Cruor34]

Even as a kid (I think I was 14 or 15) I hated Sara SO damn much, one of my most hated movie characters of all time. She leaves Alan in the game, oh boo hoo bats got in your hair. NEVER made an attempt to save him, never went to his dad and explained what happened. Even as a kid, I would have the backbone to say stand up for myself and say it WAS the game, if you don't believe me then lets freaking open it up and play" How hard is that? Complains about how rough she had it in the air conditioning and eating American food, sleeping in a safe bed etc while he suffered in the jungle for a quarter century. STILL makes it about her. I could not have been as calm as Alan was. She is WAY worse than any bad guy in whatever story, the bad guy is a bad guy. She was his friend and not only did she leave him, she STILL makes it about her.

[@Noplayster13]

Rewatch the movie as an adult and then give it more thought. You’ll find that most of those points aren’t actually correct. 1. She did tell everyone exactly what happened (including his father). That’s why she was labeled crazy. ‘Everyone I know has called me crazy ever since I told them you were sucked into a board game’. 2. She did have a hard life. ‘*Everyone* I know has called me crazy since I told them you were sucked into a board game.’ Alan having it worse does not mean she didn’t suffer immensely. 3. She never got the chance to save him. She told the authorities about what happened and they presumably locked her in an asylum, medicated her with anti-psychotics, and convinced her that it was all a delusion. *She never had the chance* to go back and play the game before being brainwashed into believing that she was insane. 4. If you want to say ‘she should have known they’d lock her up and should have just broke into someone’s mansion during a murder investigation to play the game’, then you have ‘omniscient audience armchair quarterback syndrome’. 5. Even as a kid I’d have… not been dragged off to an asylum against my will by the authorities. Sure. 6. She acknowledges he had it bad, but she wants him to reciprocate that kindness and show her compassion too. But he’s too childish to think of anyone but himself. ‘I know you are, but what am I?’ 5:50

[@Cruor34]

@@Noplayster13 I've seen the movie. All she would have to do is lead the authorities and his father to the room where it happened and just roll the dice Infront of them. The damn game is shaking and drums are pounding, I think they may believe after that. But its a movie, the movie needs to happen. The character in the movie was selfish and self serving, all there is to it. It's the same as someone telling a guy blinded or crippled from say, the war in Ukraine how hard they have it because they hate their job. Hating your job takes a mental toll, but the two are miles apart in how bad they are. In a sentence, you don't complain to someone about your broken finger when they have lost an arm. And yes, if it was a good friend I would find some way to roll a 5 or an 8 or whatever it was. Only a weak minded person would be made to believe it didn't happen by some psychiatrist. Now if it was someone I just met or someone I didn't like, ok, F'em. But a good buddy, yes I'd be trying to find a way.

[@Noplayster13]

@ No, you wouldn’t have done that. Don’t be so silly. She didn’t have clairvoyant knowledge of what would happen like you have. She didn’t view it as a puzzle to solve the way you are. She didn’t watch the movie from beginning to end like you did. She didn’t have decades to think of the perfect solution to a puzzle she didn’t know she was supposed to solve like you did. She just told the authorities what happened and they threw her into an institution and brainwashed her into believing it had never happened. End of story. You’re being ridiculous with these ‘Here’s what I would have done after watching a movie about her failed attempt’. Instead of thinking ‘I would have done this to solve the puzzle’, you should instead think: ‘this is what would most realistically happen given the setup’. You wouldn’t have actually done any of that and you know it. They weren’t good friends at all at the time. Barely acquaintances. So F’em, I guess. It’s funny that you wouldn’t have done anything to help him either, by your own admission. I guess you’re as bad as you’re accusing her of being, eh? And she wasn’t comparing her suffering to his. She merely stated why she didn’t want to play the game. It was Alan who turned it into a suffering contest. Which was hypocritical of him because earlier in the movie he was just as adamant about not playing the game for the exact same reasons. As to your silly attack on the character for being weak, I’ll let Sarah say it herself: ‘I was a little girl.’ Stop trying to be an internet tough guy.

What would’ve made pelts entrance even cooler is if he actually did snip a little of Alan ear or hand, I know it might be a little harsh for a kids film but it would’ve made everything. Either way it’s a cool entrance, but I feel like that’s where making reboots is supposed to make sense. Not the meta remake we got with rock.

[@ironcito1101]

They should've just rolled, rolled, rolled, quickly, one after the other, until one of them reached the end. They had very few turns each, so it wasn't a long way. Could've been over quickly. Instead, they paused to live a dangerous adventure after each turn. Only at the end they started to rush.

[@ΣπύροςΓ-ν9τ]

Van Pelt was portrayed by the same actor who played Alan's father. That makes me wonder if Van Pelt has the appearance of a real person that the player knows and considers intimidating.

[@nikos731]

It really means something when the greatest danger the game creates is not some great natural phenomenon, or an unimagiantive wild beast, but a very normal, but persistent hunter with a shotgun.

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

Well Van Pelt is the least dangerous element of the game to people in general. He only ever tried to kill Alan for being the person who landed on his space. Every animal or plant in the game had no such distinction. The poisonous plant shot Judy even though it came out on Sarah’s turn. The plant tried to eat Peter and Carl even though it was on Sarah’s turn. The stampede wouldn’t care and would kill everyone who got in the way. The mosquitoes bit and killed people who didn’t even play the game. The monkeys apparently either drove the police out or killed the cops in the local police station. I could go on, but out of every hazard in the game, Van Pelt had a specific target of Alan to kill, which he specifically stated to Sarah.

[@Ancor_Vantian]

1:21 Nothing against you, Sarah but wtf are you trying to say!? Are you SERIOUSLY comparing your trauma to Alan’s!? Girl 😮😮

God I love this Jumanji so much more than the other trash that was made..

This movie was really just an ad for how durable the fourth generation Chevrolet Caprice is. It won't stop until it's literally broken in half. Chevrolet: Like a Rock

[@mrinsensitivewave]

Sarah trying to compare her experience to Alans is bullshit.

[@bbenjoe]

FYI the hunter and Alan's father is played by the same actor. Okay this might be obvious to some but I had never noticed it as a kid.

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

Jonathan Hyde, and he was great in the Mummy remake too.

[@SmackdownMadness]

He was also in Titanic J. Bruce Ismay

[@Awells89]

I love that Van Pelt is wearing a world war 1 era German uniform.

[@harrisondejoux8520]

Nah it's English. They borrowed the spike from the germans. But it's purpose was to protect the head from Sabre attacks.

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

The hat is actually British, and he’s meant to be a hunter from even before World War I. Pity he wasted the bullets from his first rifle, because that one had bigger bullets.

[@PakoVero]

This is because the game recalls the fascination of the black Africa which had its peak during the European colonial adventure. Between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.

[@raffertykeegan-sharief2254]

5:01 Sarah: “Why you?” Alan: “Why me?”

Haha i love the universal hate for Sarah for comparing her pathetic trauma to Alan's

Put your hands in the air and Van Pelt refuesses

[@leerogish7223]

Van pelt was not allowed to kill him so he simply shot up his car

[@benjaminkitchen6257]

I could kill you if I wanted to. Then why? You didn’t roll the dice. So the game only allowed him to hunt down who roll the dice and sent to the game and hunt only the ones who enter in Jumanji? Make sense

[@TylerTheGamer-dutch]

@@leerogish7223 Make sense, I mean he had a big rifle to snipe mostly Alan Parish and hunt him down

[@Lostintrestineverything]

Loved this movie

[@justinthebeau2590]

Why did he shoot the street light?

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

To distract Carl who threatened to arrest him, and it worked, considering by the time Carl looked up from behind the cover of his patrol car, Van Pelt had left the scene. Van Pelt was stupid enough to fall for tricks of children in the KMart Store, but he at least was smart enough to distract Carl with the shot to the street lamp to cover his escape

[@seanpatrickcain2]

4:35 It's just the roll of the dice!

[@RaphaelPilardJoyault]

my favorite scene

[@NinjaXFiles]

Oh yeah the thing I remember hating the most in the movie was that damn police officer lmao

[@dazzaboy04]

So does every square come with its own riddle and encounter from the game? Are they totally random? Does it correspond to the number you roll? How does this game work and just how many unique encounters are there?

[@dragonlogos1]

My guess is you move then pull from a deck of encounters. Iirc that is how the tie in home version works.

[@AdrianFahrenheitTepes]

This game is a lot like the Adventure Game known as Fireball Island, where you draw cards for encounters.

[@callahaine100]

The music at 2:50 kinda reminds me Final Fantasy VII. Maybe it took inspiration from Jumanji

[@f4d370]

Ah childhood memories

[@MiiPower]

The thing that doesn't make sense is the fact the later Sarah says" you could have told us that there was man in there with a rifle that hunts people" and Alan responded with " I didn't know okay? It's just the roll of the dice." But when van pelt appears alan says "van pelt" as if he knows him.

[@AnvilMAn603]

he meant i didnt know he would come out, its random

[@MiiPower]

​@@AnvilMAn603 that makes sense

[@AnvilMAn603]

@@MiiPower yeah if you read it like: i didnt know (he would come out) okay! its just the roll of the dice. it makes alot more sense since theyre agitated and not thinking straight

[@MajinAdell]

It's most likely because there are so many things that could come out from the game, he couldn't possibly list them all.

[@katsasgeorge]

Jumanji is an entire world and its exciting consequences are random. The amount of stuff that can come out of there is limitless once you consider it's an amalgamation of every bad thing you've ever seen in a jungle or safari.

Probably to distract Carl, so he can shoot Alan only to realize he out of bullets
