Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe shot of the topless redhead in the cemetery that briefly appears in the montage after Barbara asks Harry what he is thinking about (when they are getting into the plane) is from Ed Wood's softcore 'horror' film 'Orgy of the Dead' (1965).
- GoofsThere is a red hand-held fire extinguisher visible in Harry's car on the passenger floorboard at around 8:40 into the movie when he's driving through the city.
Harry's car is a collector classic, and as an enthusiast, it would not be the least bit out of the ordinary for him to carry a fire extinguisher on board.
- Quotes
Monitor: [voiceover reciting the Monitor mantra] The Monitors are your friends. Depend on the Monitors. Work for peace. Violence solves nothing. The Monitors bring peace. Peace brings happiness.
- ConnectionsEdited from A Trip to the Moon (1902)
Featured review
North Americanized Prisoner
This is a somewhat cool movie; however, it loses a bit because the styling and theme is so much like "The Prisoner" (if it had antedated the Prisoner, then it would have been really cool), but it seems more like some kids doing "their version" of the Prisoner for high school.
It certainly has its moments, and I realize it's intended as a black comedy, but since the Prisoner at its core is somewhat dry humor itself...well, there you have it. I mean, even the "leader" is in a room that seems exactly like Number #2's headquarters.
It does get at least two stars just for the appearance of Sherry Jackson, famous for her cross-halter jumpsuit wearing android in the Star Trek and while that is hard to top, she is even more fetching in "the Monitors".
Note: This film is now available with Netflix streaming.
