I have just been watching all the tomb raider 1 cut scenes on you tube :D

And...I remember when i first completed the game then kept going through it just to re-act the scene, Me being Lara ofcourse :D

My favourite one was this......

"(Larson)I dont know where his lil jack rabbit frog legs are running him to, You'll have to ask ms.Natla...............(Lara)*whoop ass kick* Thanks.....I will"

Did any of you used to re-act them out or was i just a crazy ass wannabe Lara Croft? :jmp:

That's my favourite cutcene aswell.

I've never acted out something from TR apart from saying a quote from TR out loud randomly.

Usually I just quote various moments from the game, and I can do a pretty fair impression of Natla.
I've tried to act out that cutscene before, but no one would act opposite me, because they didn't know the lines. I have done it once, playing both Lara and Larson, but that didn't exactly work too well when it came time to kick myself in the head.

lol I love doing Natla in the opening cutscene, since I use a deep annoying american accent in real life. :cln:

I never acted any of it out but i use to always say the lines for a laugh my best always being.

Here lies Tihocan. One of the two just rulers of Atlantis, who, even after the curse of the continent, had tried to keep rule here in these barren other lands. He died without child, and his knowledge has no heritage. Look over us kindly...Tihocan."

I never acted a scene out, but for a long while afterward, a friend of mine and I would make fun of TR2, whenever you'd pick up a secret and Lara would make that inane "Ah-hah.." sound. We'd make the sound whenever we found the TV remote or a box of cookies at the convenience store.

I don't think I ever really acted out specific scenes, but I'd be able to say the lines for all the characters while playing, and when I was little I'd go out in my back yard and pretend I was doing something Tomb Raider-ish with my neon-colored twin water pistols! :D

Ahhaha, lol.

I do that too! My cousin and I are the same age, (both obsessed with TR) I am British and she is American. I act out the cutscenes with my accent and she starts laughing, and gets mad because she can't talk like Lara like I can! :vlol:

BTW
Its so funny though, I can sound exactly like all the Lara voices or anyone else you want me to sound like, I am always told I am a VERY good impersonator to voices :D Funny story:

I got in major trouble in school at the last hour of the day, so I go home and the school calls my home, and I pretend to be my mum :vlol: Done that NUMEROUS times :vlol:

LMAO- I still do that now :o hehe

I used to act out the scenes with my friend who loved Nikki from pandemonium. We would sometimes make up lines that nikki would say in Larson's place, just so i could do the kick :D

I used to act out the scenes too!
I wrote down the scripts( Remembered them and wrote them down)
I used to be Lara, My twin sister was Natla and the atlantis Mutant.
Usualy I was Lara, Tihocan and Pierre and my sister was Larson, Natla, Qualopec and everyone else. We used to have so much fun. Especialy when I ( Lara ) Pushed My sister( Natla ) off the top off the Pyramid!
Then in the Larson scene I used to do the kick, I hurt her pretty bad once because she fell over( Ouch) but then again once she pushed my over so payback time!
I used to love taking the mickey out of Larson's accent and we used to make up lines for fun.
Those were the days!

Haha, I used to quote the lines as well. Trouble is that, I have bad hearing so I can't hear what they say sometimes, so I get some of the lines wrong, typical. My fault I have bad hearing anyway:(

Sometimes that happens to me too.
E.g, I still don't get what Larson said to Lara. and some of the stiff said between Natla, Tihocan and Qualopec

I am a dead ringer for Lara and many other voices as well...it's sortof what I do! lol I love doing that cutscene.

"Well! I have your total attention now. I'm not quite sure if I've got yours, though. Hello??"

I should record it sometime, it's scary how many times I've said it outloud....lol ...along with every other Lara Croft quote.

And I, too, would go out into my back yard in my brown booty shorts, mid-calf brown boots, mint green tank and my long reddish- brown hair tied up in 10 incremental pony tails and my neon orange twin water pistols :D:D

Yes indeed!

This has to be the most entertaining topic on the TR1 board for some time! :D

Let's stop whining about the graphic quality and re-enact some cut scenes!

(Not the one where she cuts the elevator cable though....:cln:)

I actually trained my British Accent and Vocabulary by speaking TR1 speeches. Today, I'm studing politics easily in English ;)

We had to do a drama in a drama lesson once.
It was where all of us were american- like a Texas bar fight. I used my TR1 Larson accent,
"Whats' a man gotta do to get that kinda attention from yer?"

Same. My friend all think I am so strange.
One day at school we were playing hockey, and some girls picking on me.
So I was about to smack them over the head with my hockey stick. I stopped and though, wait what would Lara do?
Instead I started to say all the lines form Tomb Raider I could think of, all the games not just TR1. They all thought I had gone mental!
That showed them not to pick on me, They haven't picked on me since

Me and my friend used to act out TR. We'd both me Lara and her German Shepard would be whatever enemy we fancied facing that day.

i never re-enacted the cut scenes themselves, but because i was at primary school at the time ( i was way too young to play tr lol) we used to make up our own tr games and play them in the playground. we had this huge outdoor chess set which we used as a puzzle (damn harry potter) and when we werent allowed on the grass we pretended the concrete areas were the long hallways in vci headquarters. we even had this assault course thing which we used, and the "quiet garden" which was always where the artefact was hidden. I always used to be lara croft (which is odd because im a guy :P) and my friend was the villain, normally von croy. we even made our own characters such as max vines, who was altered in some kind of experiment thanks to little miss sophia lee, and caused him to have arms which could turn into vines. a cool villain :P i shouldve been a marvel comic writer!!! lol

I used to love doing Natla and Larson. I used to make fun of them alot, but don't now. Their accents were so recognisable and quite easy to do.Used to love the lines
" You could leave tomorrow, are you busy tomorrow?"- Natla
and
" I still got a pain in my brain from yer, and it's givin' funny ideas now like to shoot you to hell"- Larson TR1
:D
