This may have been discussed on the net before but why isn't the lead
character in the movie 'Android', the one who plays the android, given
credit? At the end of the opening credits it simply says;
And Introducing Max 404
Then second from the top of the closing credits (right after Klaus Kinski)
it says;
Max 404.......Himself
What's realy strange is that further down the credits where they're taking
care of the special effects people it says:
Max 404 Software.................Sean Foley
Max 404 Maintenance..............Ornette Caruso
The final wierdosity is that at the end when they show the universal
disclaimer it states:
Special thanks to the unamed individuals who
contributed to the fabrication and operation of Max 404,
whithout whom this film would not have been possible.
What gives? The woman who plays the female android is given credit, and
assuming this film was made in America (can't tell from the credits) all the
actors would have to be members of the Screen Actors Guild and union rules
would DEMAND that the actor be given credit.
Desperatley in need of information...
