Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was James Gandolfini's actual film debut—he reportedly never discussed it in interviews for obvious reasons.
Shot on Long Island in 1986, this exemplifies the 'shot-on-video' boom where anyone with a camcorder and fake blood could make 'cinema.' The title's triple-exclamation marketing directly parodied 1950s B-movie sensationalism.
