Movie Quote(s):
- The Tall Man: Cut me down! Michael: No! The Tall Man: I won't hurt you. Michael: You're killing the world! The Tall Man: I'll go away... and I won't ever come back [gives mischevious grin] The Tall Man: . Michael: [You] will? The Tall Man: Yes.
-
The Tall Man: Now this won't hurt a bit. Well, maybe just a little bit.
-
The Tall Man: Careful what you look for. You just might find it.
-
The Tall Man: Small Man, your end approaches but it is not yet. Take great care how you play.
-
Michael: Do you remember our old town. That last perfect day, before he came.
Movie Trivia:
- In the sequence showing Mike, Reggie, and Jody playing guitar and sitting on the hood of a car, the same actors A. Michael Baldwin, Reggie Bannister, and Bill Thornbury are actually the ones playing the part. No younger actors were used at all.
-
One very difficult scripted sequence required filming on Wilshire Boulevard, the largest street in Los Angeles, only it had to be devoid of any people. As closing this major thoroughfare would be impossible and massively expensive, Don Coscarelli and his crew came up with a novel approach. Just minutes before sunrise on Thanksgiving holiday morning, the crew was ready to film, guerrilla-style, with the key actors A. Michael Baldwin and Angus Scrimm. They took over the street, without permission, and had ten uninterrupted minutes of filming with absolutely not a soul in sight. They only had that roughly ten minutes to film, but still managed to shoot the scene as they wanted it.
-
Filmed in 23 days.
-
Roger Avary, a self-confessed hardcore fan of the Phantasm series, wrote an epic screenplay originally called "Phantasm 1999 A.D." as a follow-up to Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead (1994). It was set in a post-apocalyptic near future, featuring Bruce Campbell as a co-star. As the time passed and they couldn't get the budget needed (around $10 million) Don Coscarelli wrote and directed this fourth installment as a pre-cursor to the project, that was conveniently re-titled "Phantasm 2012 A.D." before sticking into "Phantasm's End" as the definitive title. Ultimately, when the financing for such an ambitious sequel couldn't be secured, the idea was scrapped altogether.
-
Don Coscarelli originally offered the part of Jennifer to A. Michael Baldwin's wife, Jennifer Bross but she declined. Heidi Marnhout was cast instead. Ms. Bross did provide, however, the crackling voice for the fortune teller.
