The Spirit (Gabriel Macht) gets a call (on his cell phone!)

from Detective Sussman, telling him to get down to the docks.

she whispers; The Spirit looks confused, contemplative, and leaves without an answer.

Down at the docks, Sand and her comrades are shifting two wooden boxes.

However, they are ambushed by the Octopus (Samuel L Jackson), who opens fire on them.

Saref dives into the water, dragging the boxes with her, as bullets dart either side of her.

A stray bullet catches the chain linking the boxes together, and Sand hastily chooses one, swimming off.

The other is left to the Octopus, who dives to grab it.

The music here adopts a Mickey Mousing approach, with orchestral stabs with each punch and hit.

They fight in the mudflats, and trade one-liners (…youre giving me a headache, Octopus).

He disappears in the mud.

He is cast as a mad scientist, looking for the perfect heavy.

The Octopus is bored I wish the Spirit were here so I can get some real killin done.

Floss explains that it is more complex than that.

She is wearing a towel, and The Spirit is there to apprehend her.

Need to clarify something here.

In the comic, she recognises him on sight.

In the film, she doesnt.

Not immediately, anyway.]

Hands behind your head.

She complies, and the towel falls.

As the camera cuts to maintain a PG-13 perspective, her curvaceous body is revealed in silhouette.

The Spirit is embarrassed, and turns away telling her to dress herself.

Again, she complies.

The Spirit asks about her swag, a vase that stands on a table in her apartment.

She reveals that the vase was not her intended prize that she took the wrong box.

The other box contained treasure: something a little girls dreams are made of.

She slowly begins to recognise the man behind the mask hes dead!

…youre dead!.

In disbelief, she beats him, pushes him… through the window.Clip 6.Towards the end of the film.

The Spirit is closing in on The Octopus.

In a stylistic reprise of the opening scene, he runs and jumps across rooftops.

The Spirit somersaults up fire escapes, slides down roof ledges.

A manhole cover pops up, and he uses it as a shield.

The Spirit is released 1st January 2009
