@DeutscheBagge Co-producer Paul Maslansky, in the DVD commentary, says that he regretted later on having killed Paul Winfield so early in the story. He states in the commentary that Winfield added a real "gravitas" to the story.
@DeutscheBagge Difficult to say. I only listened to the commentary once, and I do know that Maslansky says in it that not only was he very impressed by Winfield's ability as an actor; but that his character had a "real gravitas" that should have been explored further in the screenplay.
Just got done watching the Blu-ray dvd of this movie, in the original widescreen. It's still as good as when I first saw it back in 1977.
Although I'm not a fan of movie remakes, I think this film is the perfect candidate for a remake. It's a great story that's perfect for a feature film, and would benefit enormously from today's modern f/x. Even co-producer Paul Maslansky, in the commentary for the dvd, says he'd like to see the film remade.
lmao did you see when her jumped that building? the girl wasnt even on the bike! lmao it was a dummy! no girl would still be hanging on after crash landing like that! lol
The Madagascar hissing Cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa), also known as the Hissing Cockroach or simply Hisser, is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 2–4 inches at maturity. They are from the island of Madagascar off the African coast, where they can be found in rotting logs. They are completely Harmless.
They filmed this at Universal Studios in Los Angeles my family is friends with Jan michael and we went to a dinner and screenig of this show he is the young guy who rides the motorcycle anyways after the screenin was over my dad heard George Peppard say this movie sucked yes it did big time
wow i like now they stole captain america's truck to defend themselves from the "giant" cockroaches. i like crap movies from the '80s but this is shit lol
What's the latest word on this movie being released on DVD? AND in the original widescreen? So far, it seems to be only on a few over-priced VHS tapes and Amazon Video rental---each of which are only in the terrible "pan and scan' format, that is virtually unwatchable.
@farmerne The VHS release in the 1980's and the rental on Amazon VOD are not worth the money. It's not even "pan and scan", because all they did was cut-off the sides of the picture. For instance, there is a long-duration shot where the Landmaster is travelling down a road, however you only see a dust trail on the screen. Why? because the Landmaster is off on the extreme right of the originally filmed shot, and it's out of view in this print. (contd.)
@farmerne And then there are the closeups of Peppard and Jan Michael Vincent, where all you see is Vincent's nose on the left edge of the screen, and Peppard's nose on the right.
Death by firecracker, by magnifying glass, by jar and red ants.... I hate cockroaches!!!! Disgusting monsters that bit me as a kid and deserve to be destroyed in ugly ways!!!!
@Tune4you Yep, I hate coackroaches and watching this when I was a kid just super freaked me out too (still does a little). I would love to grab a copy of this movie in HD.
This is one rare film if it ever comes to DVD with 4.0 channel as it was recoded in Sound 360º by Fox, why didn’t they just go with DOLBY STEREO 6trcak for 70mm wide gauge release? Must say the fucking cockroaches are bad ass! Now why is it that every time, some damn bug kills Paul Winfield? First cockroaches! Then Ceti Eels in Wrath of Khan!
Holy shit, that woman must be retarded, instead of talking she just screams. "arrgh aargh" translation: there are cockroaches in here. "aargh arrrgh" translation: they're getting near the top of the stairs.
@FabulousLegit Now why is it that every time, some damn bug kills Paul Winfield? First cockroaches! Then Ceti Eels in STAR TREK II The Wrath of Khan! Now then! Its racist!
This is the only time outside of SLC Punk that I've seen my hometown in a movie-plenty of films are filmed in Salt Lake, but none of them ever admit it! The parking garage they escape onto is the old parking garage of the ZCMI Center Mall. It's since been demolished.

Note 2) Oh, pardon me. I did not realize you were being eaten alive. See ya.
Note 3) Coolest damn RV in the history of RV's.
Note 4) These bugs are perfect for cleaning bones to a nice, sparkling white.
Note 5) She wants ya dude. Soon as you clean the bugs off your boots you may commence bumping uglies.
