"The Wolves" When Mary & Carrie fell. Injuries

Subject: "The Wolves" When Mary & Carrie fell. Injuries Wed Feb 21, 2007 1:19 am

In "The Wolves" Mary hears the wild dogs and grabs Carrie by the arm; running full force toward the barn and the two girls apparently lose thier footing and fall.

Well, as hard as Carrie fell, I've always wondered if she (Lindsey or Sidney) was really hurt. It looked so painful when they hit, and Carrie's leg flew into the air while she kinda skidded across the dusty ground. The fall didn't look like it was intentional, either.

I mean, they could have written it in the script for them to stumble and/or fall, but as hard as they fell, it looks very much to me like it was a real accident. I watched with my VCR in slow mo speed, and it looks like Melissa Sue's foot clipped that of Lindsey or Sidney.

Does anyone know if the twin and/or Melissa Sue were injured in that fall? I hope not.

Take care.

Yes, that fall did look very real and like it really hurt.

Well, I hope they weren't hurt. Maybe someone can give us more details on the topic.

Take care.

I really don't know anything about it, but it really did look accidental (and painful) to me as well. I always thought it looked like MSA fell and dragged LSG down with her. But I do remember reading in an interview with the twins that Carrie's fall in the opening credits was unintentional also - that the little girl had her shoes on the wrong feet and fell, and she sort of looks off to the side, as if for direction of what to do now and what I remember reading was that they kept it in b/c it looked cute (which I think it does too) :)

Yes, that fall in the hill does look cute.

Yeah, it does look like Melissa went down first. If it was really her fault, I'm sure she must have felt awful for bringing L/S down with her. Blue

I'm sure I would have.

I love that scene where Carrie falls while running down the hill. I remember my mom saying that it looked like she got a little scared and decided it'd be best to walk down, and that she didn't think she was meant to fall. I agree that it does look like she's looking for direction on what to do after falling. The walking was just the thing. It worked out great, IMO. Thumbsup

Thank for the info about her shoes. I've never heard of that. Interesting to know. :CoolSign:

Take care.

I thought the fall was also painful for Carrie, looked like Mary was pulling her very hard. I thought the twins (whichever one who played the role) was very brave, she still kept up her role.

Yeah, I tried to see if there was any editing after the fall, but it looks like they kept going without anyone yelling "Cut!" Great job, girls!! Thumbsup

Just watched this episode tonight. It had been a very long time since I ever remember seeing it, although I must have seen it before. I did have some memories about it, like thinking that the mother wolf was going to have to fight the dogs. But oh boy, was this one ever traumatic! It was almost like a horror movie, with heart-pounding action and terror. Of course, I knew none of the kids were going to get attacked by the wild dogs and die, but still seeing Mary have to fight them off like that was frightening. I was thinking that it was good she had not yet gone blind. She was rather bossy, but in the end, her quick thinking and take-action attitude were what saved them all. She was the one who knew they should not go out in the dark even though it may have seemed like the wild dogs were gone.

Something that I did find rather cheezy was "sending Bandit to get Mr. Garvey." Is this LHOTP or Lassie? But I guess Bandit is able to understand English since he accomplished his task. It also kind of reminds me of how Jack went to get Laura and Mary when Carrie fell in the mine shaft in LITTLE GIRL LOST. Those Ingalls' dogs are sure smart!

So there were multiple heroes in this one: the mother wolf, Bandit, Mary, and Mr. Garvey!
