Yes. double ditto yes...an awesome wonderful film, one of my faves.
I have a stupid story to tell, actually...this is purely anecdotal, but back in the 80's I used to know the guy who was the voice of the police commissioner being interviewed on the radio at the beginning of the movie ("NO ONE will stand a chance...")...his name was Maynard T. Smith, and he worked at USC's film school at the time...presumably he was a friend of Carpenter's. He was probably in his early 70's when I knew him, a nice old guy. I knew him through a mutal friend and every so often would have lunch with him. Sort of an old professor-type character. I think it was the only acting-type thing he ever did. Hey, Maynard, you made your mark!
