Two-Minute Warning (1976)
Lloyd Braun?
Saw this really late last night on one of the Cinemax channels. I'm a sucker for 1970's films plus it had John Cassavettes so I needed to see it. I thought it was suspenseful, probably resonated more today due to the recent execution of the Beltway Sniper.
Anyway, comments I wanted to make was a couple of items made me chuckle. For one, the QB for the Los Angeles team, am I remembering right and it was Lloyd Braun? Same name as the character from Seinfeld. If it was, could it really be a coincidence.
Plus the scene where the loan shark thugs hang Klugman out the window...classic.
The Streets of San Francisco: Tower Beyond Tragedy (1972)
Either confused or the ending was dumb
I've been rewatching Season 1 Volume 1 of the show and while I enjoy most of it, this one was bit too far-fetched.
Spoiler from this part on....
Now am I to believe that there were three women that looked like Stefanie Powers? The one in Seattle, the one killed at the start and the one that was going to be killed at the end? And none of them were even related? I can suspend disbelief but not that much....
At first, I thought we were seeing it in flashbacks, start off with Mulhare's character killing off Powers and then flashback to him going to an agency where he meets the woman they show him killing. Then when Keller recognizes the face, it was going to solve the crime that already happened. So the whole time, I thought it was just a flashback leading up to the killing that we saw in the opener but turns out the woman Mulhare got at the escort service was the third lookalike. And she lived in the same town as the one that was killed at the start, none of her friends commented on that?
