I watched the new Laughing Policeman Bluray last night. The finale is after the jump. Answer me this: You’re Walter Matthau, a San Francisco detective, and you’re on a city bus with a guy you suspect of having massacred several people on a city bus at the beginning of the film, and he may be about to do the same thing. You’ve got your gun in your hand, but you’re just sitting there as the guy is sitting in the rear and up to God knows what. And yet just as the bad guy stands up with an automatic weapon and is about to fire, you’re not even looking in his direction. Thank God for the young Bruce Dern (37 or 38 at the time) and his lightning reflexes.
