It was, indeed, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. As I mentioned in another thread, Steve Martin had a run of genre spoofs: "Pennies From Heaven" was a spoof of musicals; "The Man With Two Brains" was a horror spoof; and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" was a spoof of film noir detective stories, cleverly bringing in footage from old black and white films. George

Correct. Vic Morrow and two kids died in a helicopter accident during the filming. The scene was actually supposed to show the redemption of Morrow's bigot character, as he carries two Vietnamese children to safety. The scene was removed in the final cut. On a lighter note, that "episode" also had an homage to "Animal House," when one of the American soldiers in the swamp says, "I sure wish we hadn't fragged Lt. Niedermeyer!" At the end of "Animal House," where the futures of all the Deltas are briefly mentioned, Niedermeyer was "killed by his own troops in Vietnam." The opening sequence, Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks talk about a sci-fi episode about a man with a stopwatch which could stop time. Brooks claims it was an Outer Limits episode; Aykroyd correctly identifies it as a Twilight Zone episode ("A Kind of Stopwatch," to be precise). George

Correct. Martin wants to put a disembodied brain in a great body. He finds a hooker (Randi Brooks) and was going to inject her with cleaning solution (the syringe) to kill her brain, but not her body. He can't do it (probably because of the hooker's nasally whine). Raf's up! George

You're right about Martin, of course. This was when he was making movies of different genres. (For example, not this movie, was the Busby Berkeley knock-off "Pennies from Heaven.") George

Still not getting it. I suspect that a may be in my future. George

Correct. George

I need to ask ModCat something. Do Greasespot rules allow the posting of a picture of a topless woman? I could use another scene from the same move (actually, a few minutes earlier in the scene) which might be clearer. George

This movie was based on episodes of a famous TV show. Three episodes of the show were slightly modified; a fourth segment of the movie touched briefly on another episode. References to several other episodes are strewn throughout. Three actors (an adult and two children) were killed in an accident on the set. The children were actually under-age and acting without the proper permits. Their scene was removed from the movie and they do not appear in the credits. The accident had a strong effect on the directors. It ended the friendship of wo of them, who had collaborated on a number of well-known films. As the adult was waiting to film what would turn out to be the scene that killed him, he said to a production assistant, "I must be out of my mind to be doing this. I should've asked for a stunt double. What can they do but kill me, right?!" In the opening sequence, two actors discuss an episode of the show the movie is based on. One said it was from the correct show, the other asserted that it was from a similar series which ran about the same time. When Bill Shatner appeared on "3rd Rock from the Sun" as the Big Giant Head, he was asked by John Lithgow ("Dick Solomon") how his flight was. Shatner answers, "It was a horrible flight! There was a man on the wing of the plane!" Lithgow replies, "The same thing happened to me!" George

If the italicized part doesn't give it away, I'm turning over the cards. This is a pre-1970 TV show (just to narrow the field a bit). As the two main actors, Vic Morrow and Rick Jason, were essentially co-stars, the show had two sets of opening credits, one with one actor listed first, one with the other. The choice of which one to use seems rather random, not indicating which actor had a larger role in the episode. Although Pierre Jalbert had been employed at MGM for nearly a decade, he had no actual acting experience prior to being cast in a supporting role on the series. Up to that time his job at MGM had been in the capacity of a technician in the film editing department. A feature-film adaptation of the series was planned, with Bruce Willis in the lead as the lead, but the film never materialized. One of the stars died in 1982, in a helicopter crash during filming of a movie based on another famous TV series. The lead characters were almost always called by their last names and almost never called by their first names, though one was "Chip" and the other, "Gil." "Chip" was obviously a nickname, but no other first name (e.g., Charles) was mentioned. A typical "pep talk" from the show: "All right, just knock it off. YOU KNOCK IT OFF! You people make me sick. Go on, look at yourselves. You call yourselves a squad? You're a bunch of GOOF-UPS! Littlejohn, you cause nothing but trouble! You mind everybody's business except your own. From now on, you mind your OWN business and you FOLLOW ORDERS! Kirby - KIRBY! You're a hot-headed show-off who thinks of himself first and everybody else second. You fly off the handle every time you turn around! ... Several sources have stated that one star was to carry the M1928A1 Thompson submachine gun. After two days of filming, he complained about the weight of the Thompson and switched to the lighter M1 carbine and carried it throughout the rest of the series. The other star was then given the Thompson to carry. After two weeks he also complained of its weight. A lighter replica Thompson was made out of wood and was carried by the latter star until it was time for a firefight, at which time he would switch back to the real Thompson. The replica can be seen with its incorrect ejection port. Originally aired on Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. opposite NBC's Laramie, CBS' Gunsmoke , and The Lloyd Bridges Show. Including the first and last episodes, actor Paul Busch (I) appeared in 33 episodes as different German soldiers and officers. His character usually got killed. The exclamation point in the title is a stylized bayonet. The series lasted five years in spite of the fact that only eleven months elapsed between D-Day on June 6, 1944 and the German surrender on May 8, 1945. However, the episode count (152) was less than half the number of days (336) between the two events. George

"What's he paying you boys? I'll double it and we'll beat the sh-t out of HIM." "If you need me, just call. You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles." "I hadn't seen a body put together like that since I'd solved the case of the Murdered Girl with the Big Tits." "All dames are alike: they reach down your throat so they can grab your heart, pull it out and they throw it on the floor, and they step on 'em with their high heels, they spit on it, shove it in the oven and they cook the dang out of it. Then they slice it into little pieces, slam it on a hunk of toast, and they serve it to you. And they expect you to say, "Thanks, honey, it's delicious." "Carlotta was the kind of town where they spell trouble T-R-U-B-I-L, and if you try to correct them, they kill you. " "But what does "FOC" mean?" "It's a slang word. It's when a man and a woman are in love, the man puts his..." "No, no. It's written here: "F. O. C."" George

I thought that that would have been enough for most people, but here's the whole song except for the title lyric: [Title] Send your camel to bed Shadows painting our faces Traces of romance in our heads Heaven's holding a half-moon Shining just for us Let's slip off to a sand dune, real soon And kick up a little dust Come on, Cactus is our friend He'll point out the way Come on, till the evening ends 'Til the evening ends You don't have to answer There's no need to speak I'll be your belly dancer, prancer And you can be my sheik I know your daddy's a sultan A nomad known to all With fifty girls to attend him, they all send him Jump at his beck and call But you won't need no harem, honey When I'm by your side And you won't need no camel, no no When I take you for a ride Come on, Cactus is our friend He'll point out the way Come on, till the evening ends 'Til the evening ends [Title] Send your camel to bed Got shadows painting our faces And traces of romance in our heads George

The only movie I know with Billy Idol in it is The Wedding Singer, but none of the others were in that movie. George
