Reply #27: Scar set it up [View All]

[foxy]

Scar told Simba to go and wait in the valley for a surprise from Mufassa. Meanwhile the hyena's were instructed to wait for Scar's signal to start a stampede through the valley. Scar then goes and gets Mufassa and tells him that Simba is in trouble and that he should go and save him.

Mufassa gets there in the nick of time to throw Simba from a falling branch to the cliff side just out of danger. Mufassa then falls backward back into the stampede and finally manages to get a hold onto the side of the cliff over by Scar. Scar reaches out and sinks his claws into Mufassa's paws and whispers into his ear that this was a set up and that he was not meant to come out of it alive. Then Scar throws Mufassa's paws away from the cliff and he falls down into the stampede and gets trampled to death.

The part where Scar does this to Mufassa is just out of sight of Simba so he does not realize that his uncle is responsible for it.

Scar then tells Simba that the accident is all his fault because he should have listened to his father better and minded more often. He tells Simba to runaway..far away.. and never return. And then he sends the hyenas after simba to kill him but Simba gets away through the thorny bushes.

And that is the scene where Mufassa dies.

I love this movie and could probable tell you scene for scene.

I will be first in line on the 7th to buy it that is for sure.
