(Notice the Arabic subtitles, a clue this wasn’t recorded here).īack home, with girlfriend Rachel Ticotin, he gets her to try his new invention – a motion capture suit linked to a creepy clown doll. However, Rollie is watching the filming with his son, and when the robot appears to go out of control, he shuts it down. This much isn’t a surprise if you’re familiar with the first film, but there’s a nice fakeout when it’s revealed that the effects supervisor on this film isn’t star Bryan Brown as Rollie Tyler, but some other guy. I’m not sure the health and safety on this set is very good.
#Effects 2 the deadly art of illusion movie#
The film opens with a scene that looks like it belongs in a different movie – which it does, as they’re filming some science fiction film, obviously with lots of special effects (the F/X of the title in case you’d never heard that) and the scene ends with an explosion not going off at the right time. It’s the sequel to the moderately well received F/X Murder By Illusion.
So first on this tape is FX 2: The Deadly Art of Illusion. Picture quality is awful, too – I don’t know if that’s bad Satellite reception. Star is obviously another News Corp company, so they are reusing graphics. So the first recording is from a channel called Star Movies (Satellite Television Asian Region), and when you see the pre-movie ident, you might find it rather familiar if you had Satellite TV in the 90s. It’s been recorded off a satallite or cable service, probably in the Middle East, as I think this tape was given to me by a friend of my wife’s family, who lived and worked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
This is an unusual tape, because I think it wasn’t recorded by me.
