    1. Something weird happened with the file size display with Archive. Edited to reflect correct size. Sorry about that.

    2. No problem. Just looked at that at first and thought, "I don't remember the movie being THAT short..."

  8. It was asked if any movie picked up 40 years later besides Pieces. I believe The Prowler does exactly this.

  9. Pieces of thoughts....

    Always wondered how this could be a mystery slasher...who else in the cast it old enough to have been about 9-10 years old 40 years earlier?

    My Mother knew Christopher George when he still lived in Miami, Florida. He was part of her circle of friends right around the time she met my Dad. Mom always said he was a sweetheart...probably why he got a lot of work.

    JB says the interiors scream this isn't Boston.....there's a Patriots pennant on the wall and it's long before the creation of the team and (I believe) the phone in the room has push buttons. So they couldn't even get the era right.

    The girl at the beginning - who for some reason doesn't jump off the skateboard once she sees that she's headed for the mirror like any normal person would - is the one who loses her head. The actress wrote about the movie on IMDB. She said there was supposed to be scenes showing that seeing the accident sets the guy off. And she was supposed to play the body at the end but they wouldn't pay her.

    Ian Sera (Kendell) is the "It stinks" guy in Extra Terrestrial Visitors which was called Pod People when MST3K did it (also a Juan Piquer Simón movie). Simón also used him in an awful version of a Jules Verne story co-starring Peter Cushing.

    If the kung fu thing wasn't so freaking weird I would think that the "chop suey" remark in a movie where a body is made up of all sorts of mismatched parts - kind of like the dish - would be foreshadowing....but in this movie?

  12. At the beginning of this commentary, Patrick asks if anyone can think of another movie that has a cold open set 40 years before the main action. I knew I had seen something else that did that and it's been bugging me for months, BUT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT! The Prowler, the motherfucking Prowler opens in 1945, then jumps to 1980. It's such a strange tactic to use in a whodunit, because you immediately reduce your list of suspects to people in their 60s. In the Prowler's case, it's basically one dude.
