I've always wondered what happens if you >*do* ask for Babs. > Didn't John Landis also direct this first segment of the Twilight Zone movie? I really don't remember (despite all the press surrounding that bit of unpleasantness with Vic Morrow) but if he did, here's another "inside joke" if you will: In the first segment of the Twilight Zone movie, right after Vic's character is uncerimoniously dumped into a swamp in Viet Nam, we are treated to scene involving a group of nervous American GI's. Immediately after they all form a cirlcle and empty their clips into the underbrush, a black soldier is seen exhaling from a hit off his joint, and a chicano soldier exclaims: "I told you guys we shouldn't have shot lieutenant Niedermeyer!" Does this name ring a bell? Think about it......
