Kenny of course does not say this, he just mumbles into his parka.
Matt Stone, the voice of Kenny, says the lines that are written out for Kenny by talking into his sleeve. Although it sounds like mumbling, Kenny is actually saying words, often ones that are overtly sexual.

The view is from behind and above. This helps create the impression that the boy is much smaller than he actually is, giving us the feeling that the boy in powerless against the attackers. This is called a high angle shot and is very prevalent in horror movies which seek to make the monster seem more intimidating.
This is also a classic example of a group power walk. It shows the power of the group and intimidates the individual. Another great example of a evil group entrance is in Die Hard, when Gruber and co enter the building.

Archaeopteryx is a transitional animal between dinosaur and bird. It has scales like a dinosaur, as well as:

- killing claws
- forearm claws
However, it also has feathers. Like birds have today. It even has ‘non functioning parts’ with its feathers not being sufficent for sustained flight.
#swish!

To an audience in 1968, this was the equivalent of Jennifer Lawrence shooting child in her first scene.
Fonda, never (and The Rock means ever) play villains. He played the hero in The Grapes of Wrath and was immortalised as the dissenter in 12 Angry Men. As he says in this video the actor himself knew the shock this scene would cause.
To his credits Fonda goes whole hog with the villainy. He wears black against Bronson’s white and takes part in a classic ‘kick the dog scene.’
