I don't see studios making movies like this one again. <br /><br />Makes sense the wheelchair scene was shot on flat surface, It looks like Russell is on the chair and not a stunt double, plus, he's not wearing a helmet and on a wheelchair going backwards on a hill- there's too much risk of tipping over and busting his head. Great camera trickery, I wouldn't have guessed it.

I'm really glad I finally got caught up on watching this one. Since I've seen it, I've been able to partake in several unique and genuinely awesome conversations about it.

Both obviously had a blast making this. Agreed with you too on the opening scene, I love it and it's the perfect way to start the film.JP Mulvanettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381363705787780363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8829872901342037686.post-47518235475704600032014-08-14T18:02:03.814-07:002014-08-14T18:02:03.814-07:00Welcome Alex, and thank you!

That's one of the greatest horror films of all time.

I just bought the blu ray a few months ago and have watched it numerous times. <br /><br />Keep up the good work! <br /><br />Michael.
