CRITTERS 4: In Space, They Love to Hear You Scream
Testing the actual laser for the opening scene. Three of us were
beneath
the beam, blowing cigarette smoke up through it to make it visible.
 
Production designer par excellence Philip Dean Foreman tours the
" Southwestern Adobe" spaceship cockpit of the Tesla,
pointing out such
fascinating details like the ... er, bargain-mart silverware trays
turned
upside-down and painted yellow. Cheap sets are the best sets!
Ug (Terrence Mann) prepares to disport himself as a fake hologram,
which we did via a simple mirror shot.
Every production office wall wins cartoons, and CRITTERS 4 had a
bundle of them.
 
" They Murdered His Family : They Killed Off His Species ...
They Lowered His Budget ... Now He's PISSED OFF!"
CRITTERS 5: THE REVENGE ... This Time It's Personal.
Fake Fangoria headlines include: "Editorial: Where DO they
get their
money?!" and "ALIEN 5/16ths: In Space, No One Can Count."
Teenage Mutant Ninja Critters
"Inadvertantly, Gizmo rolled into the wrong film and has not
been seen since."
Producer Mark Ordesky flashes either the peace sign, or the British
"horns"
as he escapes another meeting. Today, Mark runs Fine Line, and is
the man
responsible for your watching LORD OF THE RINGS. Fear him.
(If you want to see a better photo of Mark, click

Fran (Angela Bassett) yells futilely at Capt. Rick Buttram (Anders
Hove;
yes, his name really was "butt-ram"): "You don't
know what the fuck you're
doing!" Then she flashes a smile at your humble videographer
when she spies
him shooting a whole live take from behind a grille, which accounts
for the
shitty lighting, because DJS didn't know what the fuck HE was doing,
either.
 
Director Rupert Harvey (barely visible in the dark, lower right
of frame,
wearing the DIE HARD 2 T-shirt) shoots a close-up of Al Bert (Brad
Dourif).
Illustrator Wolf Forrest displays a Critter slightly "balded"
by the laser beam.
