Y’know, Tom Rolfing played the killer in that movie, and he hasn’t played anything before or since. So I’ll say

Paul Gleason

(was that mummy returns cheating? I was wondering)

Never saw it! 🙂

You know, I really thought Paul Gleason was in Porky’s. But I wasn’t sure, so I didn’t put that one. After I posted “Breakfast Club,” I checked IMDB, but he wasn’t listed in that movie.

However, I could’ve sworn he was in a dinner date scene with a young girl. To get him back for being such a sleaze, she had some kind of container filled with fake vomit and pretended to throw up all over him.

Does anybody remember this scene? Was it Paul Gleason? Was it even Porky’s?

Well… I could just pick ANY movie with a killer whale in it, and say it’s Shamu… but I vote we go back to “Orca” and pick a human being.

I say:

“Orca”: - Will Sampson

But if the judges rule that Shamu is okay…

TENTACLES (in which Shamu eats the evil gant squid at the end)

I don’t remember any scene like that from _Porky’s_. Are you thinking, maybe, of _Hollywood Knights_?

There was a scene like that in _Porky’s II: The Next Day_, but I think the actor in question was Edward Winter (Colonel Flagg from the _M_A_S_H\*\* TV show). I’m ashamed I know this.

If we’re still playing:

Will Sampson

_The Manitou_

or if Shamu and _Tentacles_ is okay:

John Huston

Aaaahhhhh. OK, you’re exactly right. Thanks for clearing that up.

I still want to play, but I have no clue who Will Sampson is, so I’m going with

_John Huston_

_Chinatown_, a FANTASTIC movie we had to watch for my Myth and Film class, and whose relationship to myths I still have no idea on
