So Douglas went on to own Christine
I knew that geek looked familiar...
shareAnd he's a pretty good director (he directed a couple of episodes of Fargo). He talks with John Carpenter on the commentary track for Christine and, as all John Carpenter commentary tracks are, it's pretty awesome.
shareAnd Bob married Adrienne Barbeau. Kewl.
shareAlso interesting -- this movie came out the same year as Halloween and I think Friday the 13th borrowed just as much from Jaws 2 (and Jaws 1, for that matter, considering both movies start with kids sitting around a campfire playing music and two kids break away for shenanigans and death ensues) as it did from Halloween (and Meatballs, for that matter).
shareIf they ever redo Jaws...I hope they include elements from both films.
The CGI shark attacks now are pretty awesome.
