| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Sens-surround Feature Did Not Work on Home Version!! |
| YES, I saw this feature in the theatre as a young fella and like a handful of other mid/late 70's (Earthquake,Midway) it was hyped as being in "Sens-surround" which I remember as being some VERY BIG speakers that made the floor of the theater vibrate during the scenes with the rollercoasters. In hindsight, it was a pretty dopey effect, but it was novel at the time and worth noting.
The film itself is a decently paced thriller. Segal playing a saftey inspector/detective trying to find the cuckoo who's been bombing rollercoasters and blackmailing the amusement park bigwigs in the middle of peak season. Of course, upper management won't do the sensible thing and shut the parks down, so Segal must work extra hard while trying to nab the offending bomber. Segal also tries to quit smoking, which is not a good thing to quit when you are stressing as he definitely is ( and you may be too while watching the defuse scenes) Great early appearances of Craig Wassam and Helen Hunt as well as odd L.A rockers Sparks-a band led by the Kael brothers, Hitler look-alike pianist and a pretty boy vocalist. |
