Gotcha! (1985)


A great little movie starring Anthony Edwards, I can't seem to find it on here.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089222/

I've noticed some titles are missing from here over the years.

Anyone else like this movie? I first saw it in the eighties as a kid and loved the suspenseful music in the opening scene. This was the movie which made me a little afraid to travel overseas! (Something I did get over.)

Yes I also recall liking it way back when it was first made.

It was definitely a Very entertaining story !!!

Also kind of reminds me of CLOSER with NATALIE Portman's character who visits LONDON and uses a FAKE NAME while she's there (even though she's also the live in girlfriend of the guy who lives there).

But it's also not a SPY FILM like this other one.

That's really strange, it wasn't coming up in the search results last week!

The video game came after the movie, according to Wikipedia. A line of toys were also released. Funny given that it's definitely not a kids' movie but this kind of thing happens all the time.

This site does that often. You have to go to IMDb on a browser and copy the end of the link starting from the "tt" part and all the numbers that follow.

Wasn’t it based on a popular game in the early 80s?

I own the film on DVD.
And yes, I like it a lot.
