I love this movie. I had the novel when I was a kid.  Great story, wild direction and camera work, cool music and Jessica Harper!!  God, she is(was) beautiful!!  A must-see movie.

FOX Movie Channel runs it about once a month or more. They even have a thing called FOX Legacy which does a little behind the scenes of some FOX films and this was featured as one. Mostly because Jessica Harper husband is Tom Rothman, the co-chairman of FOX.
Movie Trivia Fact : O.J. Simpson was considered for the title role in The Terminator, but producers feared he was \"too nice\" to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer.<br />Isn\'t hindsight great.<br />A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. - Agent Kay - Men in Black

Saw this movie back in the 70s as a teenager. Loved it. I still have the album somewhere.

I have the album too!  This is one of my favorite movies.  I got a chance to see it on the big screen once at midnight, excellent way to view it.

Zebra 3

One of my favourite musicals.

This is a great and truly freak of a movie. 

I'd recommend it to anyone that likes The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it has that same kind of all the wall energy, just without the sexual overtones.
