Except for when he totally does at the end. That lake scene scared the hell out of me as a kid.HeySeansOnline said:
Anywho, the disc Neo sold the people in leather at the beginning of the Matrix is just some software to get rid of the guy's speeding tickets.
The scene in Let The Right One In where one of the bullies whips Oskar and starts crying is legit. The boy actor actually started crying on set, something which was not intended but it worked well so they decided to keep it in.
I always thought of that as a dream sequence, but I guess your right, should've rephrased that as "wasn't the main killer".britmike said:

Actually, the version they used on TV wasn't actually a kiss. It was an "almost kiss", shot to look like they were kissing, but they didn't. They shot an actual kiss, but they didn't use it in the episode.octafish said:
Steven Hill, the older man who played the District Attorney in Law and Order, was the star of the first season of Mission Impossible, not Peter Graves. He left the show because he was an Orthodox Jew, and refused to stay late on Friday nights to finish filming episodes because the Jewish Sabbath runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday, and the Orthodox take this very seriously. Bruce Geller, who had hired him, was extremely irritated by this, and fired him at the end of the year. There are also several episodes where Steven Hill doesn't show up, or only shows up at the beginning, because Geller was "punishing" him for his attitude.
Incidentally, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain were also Jewish, but not Orthodox, so they had more leeway in this.
The foreign language that appears in signs in Mission Impossible are not based on any real language- they are meant to be understood even by Americans, who can generally only understand English (Gaz for Gas, and so on). The crew termed this language "Gellerese", and it was used in all the foreign language signs for the series.
