Haha. I saw this video & came here to comment about the Kim Richard's death scene only to find that's the first thing they talked about. I saw this movie first at around 10 or 11 & when he shot the little girl I was literally opened mouthed & thought to myself "they can do that in a movie, murder a kid?". It's one of those scenes that is made for epic first reactions.
Thanks! I didn't know about the Price reference. Like John Strobel in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK being named after Cronenberg. Carpenter loved that sort of thing.
The main convict in the movie was in "Eraserhead" too. He was working in the shop where Jack Nance got his head ground down into erasers. "Okay, Paul!"
