Plot hole: There must be a lot of dumb scientists in Sebastian's lab. While defibrillating the invisible gorilla, (s)he becomes completely visible for a moment. However, not once do the scientists consider that applying a mild electrical shock to the system renders the invisible animal visible again - that electricity may be the key to the whole invisibility problem. They don't even comment upon the fact that the gorilla does become visible.

Hollow Man is about a mad scientist (already) who, with his colleagues, finds the serum for invisibility but it further damages his mind. He then decides to kill his team and anyone who gets in his way, leaving it to Elizabeth Shue and Josh Brolin to stop him. An older film from 2000, Kevin Bacon is maniacal as the deranged Sebastian. It's OK overall for an earlier Invisible Man remake.

Linda: Let me tell you a little secret. The concept of Sebastian is much more appealing then Sebastian himself.
Trivia: The infamous scene where Sebastian kills a dog was thoroughly investigated by the ASPCA - a non-profit animal welfare advocacy group. They reportedly felt the scene (despite being only shown in heat-vision footage) was so graphic, they suspected it might have been real. Director Paul Verhoeven ended up having to demonstrate how the scene was accomplished - star Kevin Bacon picks up a real dog, but through some slight trickery, was able to quickly switch it out with a realistic fake dog filled with stage-blood when he goes out of frame for about a second.
Question: What is the song playing when Kevin Bacon is driving his car? It wasn't "Power Struggle" by Sunna.
Answer: I checked the movie's credits (original concept, I know) then I listened to the song in the film and found the lyrics at http://www.letssingit.com/sunna-power-struggle-1bdk7zz.html and http://84210992.home.icq.com/lyrics.html and I can assure you that it was, in fact, "Power Struggle" by Sunna.
Answer: It's actually Skunk Anansie. I know this song from memory and can attest as a fan of the movie and the scene.

Answer: Do you mean the scene where he is invisible, wearing his mask? If so, the song is called Charlie Big Potato by Skunk Anansie.
