All of you that have seen "Animal House", raise your hands. Good!
Now, All of you that have seen "Twilight Zone - The Movie", raise your
hands. Wonderful! O.K. now, all of you that raised your hands both
times, pay attention. Everybody else, go back to whatever you were
doing.
As you may recall, at the end of "Animal House", one-liners were
flashed on the screen to tell what became of the various individuals
in the film. The Omega frat ROTC officer, Doug Nedermeyer, was 'killed
in Vietnam by his own men'. Got it? O.K., now, on to part two.
In "Twilight Zone - The Movie", in the first story concerning Vic
Morrow as the bigoted man forced to experience the lives of those whom
he was prejudiced against, he ends up in a Vietnamese swamp being shot
at by a group of stoned American soldiers. For those of you that may not
have caught the comment, right after the shooting ceases, one soldier
nervously whispers to another, "I told you we shouldn't have shot Lt.
Nedermeyer!!" Fancy that!
By the way, John Landis, who directed "Animal House", also directed
TZ-TM, and he co-wrote the Vic Morrow story.
Enjoy,
