If you appreciated Freaks, and haven't already seen Herzog's comparably strange film: "Even Dwarfs Started Small" (1970) - you may want to check it out.Klaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006608076041962884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-30739166051874583602011-05-20T12:16:59.085-05:002011-05-20T12:16:59.085-05:00I've never been able to understand that guy...I've never been able to understand that guy's one line--he says it during the cigarette lighting scene. <br /><br />A couple of the cast members had pretty long careers in the business. Angelo Rossitto (the guy standing on the table in the picture above) had a long enough career that he was in this and was also the smaller half of Master-Blaster in the third Mad Max film. He lasted in Hollywood for nearly 60 years--not something many people can say.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-66287455978695441732011-05-20T11:52:52.632-05:002011-05-20T11:52:52.632-05:00The biggest mystery of the whole piece is what doe...The biggest mystery of the whole piece is what does caterpillar man say for his only line?

The sight of a man with no legs, polishing a luger. As far as aggressive threat goes, it's really pretty tame. Not sure why THAT above all the other "image challenged" cast (PC is just good manners).Ken Loarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207009680910318145noreply@blogger.com
