Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe villain has a lot of similarities to real-life NYC serial killer David Berkowitz (also known as the "Son of Sam" and dubbed the ".44 Caliber Killer" by the media). Like the Son of Sam, the killer in this film is referred to as the ".44 Magnum Killer" by the media, commits his crimes in New York City, appears to hear voices (as the Son of Sam once said he did), and taunts the police.
- GoofsWrapping a gun, especially one as powerful as the .44 Magnum, in a towel will hardly dampen the sound of the gunshot. In fact, it's more likely to set the towel on fire due to the enormous muzzle flash.
- Quotes
Eugene Hunt: Death is the best kick of all. That's why they save it for last.
Featured review
Top nominee for the Film Firearm Foulup award!
A psycho killer scribes Jamie Lee Curtis' name onto the brass shells of some cartridges, loads them into his big revolver, then blows away strangers in a park. Detectives find the empty shells, so investigate JLC. Never mind that revolvers don't eject shells as semi-auto pistols do. Never mind that detectives would have known that the shells had been planted deliberately. Never mind that people don't write their names on cartridges. Correcting this film's technical inaccuracies would destroy its whole plot. Could the reason behind such silliness be a profound misunderstanding of the phrase, "a bullet with your name on it?"
