Quiz
Arnold Schwarzenegger stated in his memoir "Total Recall" that he was so impressed by the film's tense atmosphere, made on a low budget, that he convinced the producers to hire John McTiernan to direct Predator (1987).

Blooper
When Pommier pulls the developed film out of the sink, it's clearly a 35 mm film strip from a movie with the according single frames. Pommier even looks at it in that orientation. As he was shooting with a standard SLR photo camera, the images should be oriented lengthwise on the strip.

Citazioni
Bertril: There are places with pasts, Pommier. Places with secrets. Things... collect. You just looked too closely. Most people are luckier: They never know that a certain percentage of what they see is... not there. But the problem now is not what you know, it's what they know. You. They know about you. Go away, Pommier. Leave your house and change your job. Go and hide yourself. You can still survive this... But you must not try to fight them. Listen to me. If you've never run from anything in your life, run from this. They're leading you into another world.

Of no fixed abode

Nomads is style over substance.

John McTiernan as writer and director delivers this mid 1980s surreal and supernatural thriller with LA punks and a thumping rock score.

The film opens with Dr Flax (Lesley-Anne Down) a tired accident & emergency doctor who is called into treat a deranged French anthropologist Jean Charles Pommier (Pierce Brosnan.) He has only moved to Los Angeles with his wife recently where they have been harrassed by punks and rockers.

Jean Charles dies but not before biting Dr Flax in the neck. She does not become a vampire but she gets his memories and experiences into her head. We are not sure that we are reliving Dr Flax experiences or Jean Charles.

Dr Flax seeks out Jean Charles's wife who is very confused as to why she knows so much about her husband. Meanwhile one of Dr Flax's colleague gets a phrase that Jean Charles was ranting about deciphered.

The phrase comes from the Innuat. It refers to a band of nomadic spirits who live place to place in human form. These punks and rockers might be the nomads intent on evil.

It seems Jean Charles and his wife had been constantly on the run from these nomads. A nun warned him to keep on running and hiding, he might still be able to evade them. He needs to leave LA.

The film is an incoherent mess. It does have a great visual style but the narrative is lost. I did find the film a curious watch and felt that there was a better movie in there somewhere.

Still Brosnan and McTiernan would later reunited in the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair with McTiernan becoming one of Hollywood's top action directors.
