Several of the dogs are dead. The family made it to the roof of the shed, where the dogs—as supernatural as they appear to be—can’t get to them, and they have ammunition. Not a bad recovery, all told. Obviously I’m not sure. That’s why there’s a “maybe” at the beginning of my post, and a question mark at the end of it. However, I find myself questioning my own enjoyment of the film, since I’ve been informed that Rock Hudson himself was puzzled. A minor point; she lacked the physicality which would be compatible with the feats she was performing. Maybe it’s because the British accent is largely an affectation. I wonder, if you ring up a Brit at 3:00 am, do they sound just like an American? Imprint Films / Via Vision (Australia) released Jessica on Blu-ray this month. Same. I’m not a big fan of cars blowing up in movies, because it’s just not realistic. But, let’s say the fuel line ran under the floorboards, and a bullet pierced it, subsequent rounds could theoretically ignite it. A lot of fire comes out of the barrel of a gun. The newspaper article said that she was found with her throat cut—a fairly unusual mode of suicide. I assumed that Loretta Figgis was taken out by Dion or one of Coughlin’s crew by Dion’s order. She was raised by Serbian parents, which might explain her enunciation. I thought it helped her role as a vampire. Yep, you’re right, there’s no way that would ever happen. I haven’t seen the movie, so I can’t speak to the realism of the scene itself, but you can definitely get around on a motorcycle without a clutch. Getting started will be the biggest challenge (particularly with only one arm), but once you’re rolling, clutchless shifting is simple on most motorcycles. This turned out to be an amazingly prescient post. Maybe you had to be around in 1968 in order to appreciate it? Faces are not that strongly attached, I’ve seen a motorcycle accident where the face was a flap of skin that was attached at one side. The fact that it’s revolting or distasteful to imagine doesn’t make it any more difficult than skinning an animal. After reading the plot synopsis I immediately thought, ‘Equalizer 2.1’. (Which ain’t necessarily a bad thing…) I saw the first one, it was pretty good. The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover I haven’t seen it in a few years, but Employee of the Month was not as exaggerated as you think. In the 1970s I worked in a large warehouse for a major auto manufacturer. Not only did we have hideouts up in the racks, a couple of them would put the one in EoM to shame. One was wired and had lights. We didn’t have scooters, per-se, but employees rode pallet jacks around. Countless shenanigans went on every day. I liked the film, in spite of the unevenness. Afterward, I went to IMDb expecting to find both [COMEDY] and [DRAMA] badges because it presented quite a bit of tension, mostly due to questionable choices made by Doug and Dick.
