Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) - Movie Review | Most Tragic Movie Ever Made

[@davidjames9934]

Nightmare in the Sky part was based on an original episode where William Shatner played John Lithgows part. Worth looking up the clip. “There’s something on the wing.. some thing”. Also parodied on Ace Ventura. I need to watch this again.

What a tragedy on set. It’s a quite bold to say that Stephen Spielberg should have been in jail and unfortunate. I may need to watch the doc. I may possibly agree with more information, but hard to imagine not having the monumental Jurassic Park. But justice if fair should be first.

It's a Good Life, Kick the Can and Terror at 20,000 feet were actual stories from the original Twilight Zone show that ran from 1959-1964. The Simpsons also spoofed It's a Good Life and Terror at 20,000 feet (renamed Terror at 5 and a half feet) for their Treehouse of Horror episodes.

The original Twilight Zone series is so much better than this movie. I watched an episode on shudder covering the incident that happened on set. It was horrific to see how it unfolded.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

A lot of my research came from that episode. Cursed Films.

[@thewrathofkaan]

I love this film, but I think it’s because I grew up on it. If you’re watching it for the first time all the way through as an adult you’re definitely not going to feel the same.

Do the hat trick Uncle Walt !!! 🎩🐰

Yeah, absolutely tragic Barry... Im a few years older than u, i remember hearing about it at the time. Wow i never knew the details about Steven S and Landis ☹️

[@Danimal77]

Sadly, that tragic incident was filmed and IS on the internet. I don't advise anyone watch it though.

[@crystal23ish]

There a cursed film documentary on this on shudder.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

I got a lot of my info from that documentary,

[@wayneturner8575]

I have the novel tie in book, and movie on DVD. Plus, the book on the tragedy. Facts:- *Steven Spielberg fell out with John Landis over the tragedy. *The ending is clearly a mess because of the tragedy in that segment. Vic Morrow's character was going to be a changed man back in the bar, after the events aka no longer a racist. *Vic Morrow was the father of Jennifer Jason Leigh.

[@WolfmansGotNards]

One of those facts aren't facts. Spielberg falling out with Landis was him trying to distance himself from the tragedy. Most likely not because he felt Landis was to blame. The buck stops with the producer.

[@wayneturner8575]

@@WolfmansGotNards Possibly both reasons. Him blaming Landis, and to also distance himself from the tragedy.

[@DTours]

Each one of the segments were based off original Twilight Zone episodes.
