At the end of the video his wife says, "See you next Wednesday!" an obvious reference to their next available time to transmitt a message to the distant space craft bound for Jupiter, though since Frank is killed within the next day or two by HAL, it is perhaps meant as an ironic trademark since it seems to occur in Landis films when characters are in great danger. It appears during the werewolf rampage as the title on the marquee of a porno theater in 'American Werewolf In London". It is spoken in German when a Vic Morrow is being shot at on the building in the sequence he directed for 'Twighlight Zone The Movie'. In the original 'Blues Brothers' it's on a billboard where the the cops are laying in wait. Then again, it mostly appears as the name on movie posters, so that it probably became merely something to watch for like Hitchcock's cameos... It first appeared in his first film "Schlock' as the name of a movie and as a movie poster in a theater lobby. It appeared again in his second film as a title of the "Feel-O-Rama" movie in 'Kentucky Fried Movie'. It surfaces in an apartment in 'Trading Places' on a movie poster. In 'Coming to America' it appears in a subway station (the movie claims to star Jamie Lee Curtis, who appeared in Landis' Trading Places (1983)). Another poster is visible in Ophelia's apartment. In 'Spies Like Us' it appears on the recruitment poster behind the desk of the commander of the army training post. In 'Into The Night' it appears on appears on two posters in the office where Ed and Diana make the phone call. In 'Innocent Blood' it is once again advertised on a movie marquee across the street from the Melody Lounge exotic dance bar near where a car crash takes place. It also appears in the Michael Jackson video "Thriller", which was directed by Landis. One of the men chasing the werewolf finds a note and reads this out while the shot shows MJ in the theater eating popcorn. hide |
