Is it just me or does the Danny character look like Dick Cheney in the scene where he is threatening the hero reminding him that he 'has no choice'? When they do that close up of his face can't you just imagine him finishing the sentence with 'Now go *beep* yourself' and the director yelling 'Cut!' ?
shareIt's just you, sorry.
shareRodneyVervegard,you are totally right. I have watched this film many times and I always remark how much Larry Gates looks like Dick Cheney. I think the guy who responded to you must be a die hard Republican who refuses to sully the Cheney name with any association with pod people.
shareAs far as name sullying goes, I think it's the other way around. I hope Mr. Gates' family will forgive me.
shareThis "die hard Republican" or however you want to label me, just answered the OP's question. I didn't do any name calling, I just disagreed. I don't associate anybody with a "pod people", I just know the diffrence between real life and a movie. Do you?
shareDick Cheney? Hardly! This is one of my favorite sci-fi movies and it has never crossed my mind. Sounds like you're just trying to conjure up devils....
shareI'm not trying to conjure up anything. I thought he looked like Dick Cheney and wanted to see if anyone else noticed the similarity. I think it's fascinating how some people see something and others don't. If he had borne a striking resemblance to Strother Martin I probably would have said the same thing.
shareMy comment wasn't directed at you. It was meant for the person who wanted to link Cheney with some diabolical plot, though in a humorous way.
I don't think Mr Gates looked like Cheney (but each to their own) but my complaint was meant for the one who wants to bring politics into a discussion.
God forbid anyone should be politically minded in a democracy. The founding fathers would be shocked.

Interesting that actor Larry Gates (the "Dick Cheney Character") also later played another "Dick Cheney Character", this time with glasses, on an episode of the 'Body Snatcher Influenced" THE INVADERS.
Horror can be quite ironic, making it all the more disturbing.
Is it just me, or does your mother look like the Piltdown man? ???
Cut!
Hello. It's 2016. Cheney has been out of power 8 years. The savior Obama has done nothing to fix anything. If the job was too hard because Bush did too much damage, Obama is useless. If the job was not completed, maybe Obama is the same as Bush and Cheney. The job is not completed. There is no inheriting, only applying for a job. Obama can't do the job. Less peace now, more wars. Less unity now, more division, on every front. More wealth separation under Obama. The FBI took Solyndra's papers away on hand trucks - where are those papers and where is that federal trial? What happened with BP? Why was Fort Hood ignored? Why was Gabby Gifford used and discarded? Because Obama is WORSE than Bush and Cheney. How do I come to this? Because Obama claimed change, and Bush never did. I suppose if "change" means stronger Islamism, stronger communism, and stronger hedonism, as well as corruption and crime, yeah, Obama did a good job. A reaaaalllll good job.
