Neidermeyer

I watched the movie again for the first time in years recently. I got a good laugh out of the Vietnam scene when one of the soldiers said "I told you we shouldn't have killed Lt. Neidermeyer" Of course John Landis directed rhat segment as well as Animal House which had a jerk named Neidermeyer that suffered the same fate.

I forget how many times I saw Twilight Zone: The Movie before I got the Neidermeyer allusion. I guess Landis just wanted to make sure we knew that Neidermeyer's death (which was acknowledged at the end of Animal House) wasn't an accident.
