Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a direct sequel to 1977's Looking for Mr. Goodbar, with Shelley Hack playing the sister of Diane Keaton's murdered character. The original film's director refused to return.
Released the same year as the real 'Son of Sam' killer's capture, it exploited then-faded '70s panic about single women in cities—by 1983, the zeitgeist had moved to slasher films.
