Has anyone ever explained exactly why the studio didn’t abandon this film?
Actually had a good element of suspense to it.
As long as we continue to bitch about rage bait such as this film, Hollywood will keep doing this.
It’s not a roast if you’re praising the man every 5 seconds.
This movie is a goldmine for a sequel. Why haven’t we seen one?
The overacting makes a lot of scenes funny
Newly revealed on set interview of Robert Shaw (Quint)
Did anyone else get horror movie vibes from this?
Was Brian McCaffrey supposed to be this unlikeable?

Thank you for that.
What makes you say Margot Kidder?
Gotcha. The impression that’s given in the documentaries I’ve seen is that Spielberg was the only one who had anything to lose. I guess that’s not true but that’s why I asked.
Because at the time they didn’t know it was going to be a hit. That’s why the story of Jaws is so inspiring. It had everything going against it, but in the end it was an historic success.
What I’m wondering is what member of the establishment he betrayed. Compared to the sex trafficking, this video is the least of his problems. It reminds me of Epstein in that those in power are fine letting a monster like Diddy operate as long as he follows their demands. He must have pushed back on the system.
This is your best troll game?
Let’s call it an edumacated guess.
Might wanna hang on to that set. Probably will be worth something.
Knowing what we now know about Hollywood I’m pretty confident that Michael Winner was similar to Dan Schneider in that he used these films as a way to act out his personal fantasies. I mean he was dating Robin Sherwood (an issue all on its own). He probably got off on watching her get man-handled.
Bronson was known for being difficult to work with. He was demanding and wanted things done a specific way at a specific time. Why do you think his wife Jill Ireland kept appearing in movies with him? She was a mediocre actress at best, but he demanded that she be given the roles. Bronson also viewed acting as a source of income, and not much more. I believe that’s why he kept making b movies with Cannon films. He had grown up poor, so the last thing he probably wanted was to take chances with his revenue. Ergo, he appeared in lower budget films that lacked prestige, but kept the cash coming.
