Reason 4: the terrifying final sequence.

Please release more movies by Robert Aldrich. He is one of the most underaprreciated directors of his generation.

Absolute classic.
Complex with all the names and clues flying around, but classic.
Wish a follow up movie was made just as good.

If you turn on your light and the first thing that you see is Jack Elam, chances are things aren't going to turn out well.

Hands down my favorite film noir. Bitchin' babes, bitchin' cars, bitchin' ass kickin' scenes. For a complete change in character check out Ralph Meeker in "Paths of Glory" - finest anti war film ever.

The movie that inspired two of my favourite films of all time: Pulp Fiction and Repo Man

Gabrielle's unboxing the suitcase scene was inspired for the climax scene in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981).

Ok here's some trivia only a few would know and they ain't talkin, the house at the end was on westward beach next to zuma beach, lifeguards lived there in the summer, they couldn't blow it up and as you can see from the cheesy explosive effects they didn't. Cheesy effects and noir go together so well, don't you think?mike hammer was later reincarnated as James

I have a UK DVD of this which claims, in the sleeve notes on the back, that both endings are included. But, for the life of me, I can't find the alternate ending anywhere on the disc! Is it an easter egg?
If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged.

In the last scene... it looks like there are three electric arcs between the lady's lips and the guy's neck.

Wow; Casino Royale, anyone? I thought that intro played out like some kind of tribute, and here's the original.

Simple: A red blooded American hero kicking enemy butt. Why oh why did we havr t wait unti 2016 to put Mike Hammer in the White House!
