POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR PSYCHO (1960): Has several things in common with
Alfred Hitchcock
s
Psycho
. Both Norman Bates and Jame Buffalo Bill Gumb, the killers in both movies, are based on real-life Wisconsin serial killer
Ed Gein
. Norman Bates enjoyed taxidermy as a hobby and had many stuffed birds around the Bates Motel. When Clarice Starling enters the "Your Self Storage" facility in
The Silence of the Lambs
, there is a self-conscious nod to this with a shot of a large stuffed bird very similar to the one on Normans wall.
Jonathan Demme
uses the same tracking shot that Hitchcock used when
Vera Miles
is approaching the Bates house on the hill at the end of
Psycho
(Demme uses it twice in
The Silence of the Lambs
; when Clarice is approaching her car outside the asylum after her first meeting with Hannibal Lecter and when she goes up to the coffin in the funeral home). The heroines in both movies share their surnames with types of birds; Marion Crane (
Janet Leigh
)/Lila Crane (
Vera Miles
) and Clarice Starling (
Jodie Foster
).
Julianne Moore
went on to play both Lila Crane in
Gus Van Sant
s remake of
Psycho
and Clarice Starling in
Hannibal
.

Jon Favreau
felt him to be too fantastic and dated, so he was rewritten into a "working-behind-the-scenes" presence. Favreau cited "Star Wars" as a case: "I looked at the Mandarin more like how in Star Wars you had the Emperor, but Darth Vader is the guy you want to see fight. Then you work your way to the time when lightning bolts are shooting out of the fingers and all that stuff could happen. But you cant have what happened in
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi
happen in
Star Wars
."
8.

Dolph Lundgren
s character when he slices through bundles of bamboo: this was an authentic samurai sword.
d.
This encountered some flak as it was released just 9 days after the Oklahoma bombing. The films plot features a gang of militant white supremacists who intend to detonate a bomb in a public place.
