Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The scene where a Klown rams a car off the road and kills the driver was originally intended to be an opening prologue to the film, and the driver was to be the character Joe Lombardo. For this prologue there was also a scene shot where Joe and his date are kissing on a deserted dark road and after his date rejects him, he angrily drives off alone only to meet his demise with the Klown. However when it was decided to have an opening credit sequence be seen first, the kissing rejection scene ended up on the cutting room floor, and the car crash scene was placed at a later point in the film with the driver not being Joe Lombardo. He ended up being the name of a dead person that Mike and Debbie discover wrapped up in a cotton candy cocoon in the final version. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When people move the hanging bags of cotton candy, they're obviously far too light to hold a body. more

Great sci-fi camp., 29 October 1998
Author: bux from Tecumseh ok

This almost looks as good as something that came out of the 50s, but alas, it is in color. Just when you think the makers might be serious, they get stupid and you know it's all in fun. In 1954, Sterling Hayden uttered the famous line in "Johnny Guitar", "All a real man needs is a cup of coffee...and a good smoke. Well amended for the nineties, a real man would do well with this flick and a cold six pack!
