Footage from this movie in Minority Report


I watched this film for the first time tonight (good movie), and noticed the scene where Robert Ryan fills Cameron Mitchell full of lead while he's in a Japanese bathtub appeared projected on the wall in the apartment of the skeevy eye surgeon Tom Cruise visits in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report.

I believe Sam Fuller and Steven Spielberg were friends (makes sense, since Fuller was in Spielberg's film '1941') so I'm sure it's some kind of an homage.

Yeah, whenever I watch Minority Report and see that House of Bamboo clip, I always think back to Fuller and Spielberg making 1941 together. Great stuff.

The only part of this movie I've ever seen is the scene in "Minority Report", and I always assumed it was a woman being killed. Mitchell's voice seems very high pitched, but he's very realistic in his agony at being murdered.
