A horrible movie but it had its moments.

Okay, this movie was a major cheese-fest but I still liked certain parts.

Like the part where they're chasing each other in the movie studio and the dude dies on the table during filming. Since the furniture is real but the actors are fake they see no-one there and don't realize that they're being filmed. However, the audience sees a guy hiding under a Brady-family breakfast table - they're eating and they don't even notice him crouching behind their table. Later when the killer is killed he's sprawled across the table and they're just eating breakfast like there's nothing abnormal about eathing wheaties when there's a dead guy on the table.

That scene almost made the movie worth watching. Fast forward to the end and watch that if you ever see the movie.

I don't really remember but yeah, the sex appeal was one of the redeeming features.

I actully Liked the movie. I though it was really good. I can Not find it anywhere ughhh. I think if Albert wasn,t in the movie it wouldn,t be as good. He is a very good actor and has been good in every Movie I saw him in. With all the remakes going on of all these other movies. I,m surprized someone hasn,t tried to Remake Looker. Would be kewl to see what they come up with.

To call the movie horrble is a little extreme. I thought it was pretty good. I surely have seen worse. To see the gun fight during the commercial demo is classic.

couldn't agree more about finney. great actor. awsome in this. if you want to see a great finney performance check out "shoot the moon" not really my kinda movie at all, but it was so moving I cried like a hungry baby.

It wasn't a great movie but the ending was great, especially when James Coburn is bleeding to death from a gunshot wound in the middle of a Spurt Toothpaste commercial. The gun was a cool idea too.

Yeah, I've told people who've never seen it about that scene - with the stockholders watching in horror, pretty funny.

It gets better after you watch it a couple of times. The first time it's very confusing.

I saw the movie as a kid, it came out when I was 6 and I didn't get it then but thought it was entertaining. So maybe it is confusing, I'd seen it a few times before I was even old enough to get it.
