I haven't watched the movie. I know that Kilmer played Jim Morrison, but I had no idea who else was in the cast. Sorry. George

I may have seen some of HHGTTG on cable, but not enough to remember this scene. George

It doesn't look familiar to me, either. Was something important cropped out? George

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
