David Warner's character's death...
I saw this with some friends in the theaters in 1976 and that scene blew our minds!

what was it?
shareI take it you haven't seen the film.
sharei did a long time ago
shareI guess time had a way of making us forget things. Here is the spoiler, if you want:
Warner's character is beheaded by an out of control truck backing up at him and when it stops, it releases a big piece if sheet metal it was carrying, taking off his head.
You know a scene is good when they extend it and show it at 6 different angles.
shareIn my memory it was a pane of glass, but the effect was the same either way.

You are right about it being a pane of glass. I watched a snippet on Youtube after I came on here, and it did look like a pane of glass, but it didn't shatter when it hit Warner's character and then through the window behind him.
shareokay, thanks
