Drugs, Sex, Girls: Being Directed by Peckinpah on the His 'Killer Elite'

With both “Straw Dogs” and “Killer Elite” playing in theaters, I feel it’s the moment to tell what it felt like to be directed by Sam Peckinpah. The new “Killer Elite” is not the same script as Peckinpah's, but it is the same title.

In 1975 he cast me in the original. For the audition I was told to look sexy. I wore a blue suede dress from St. Tropez that had a Tarzan’s Jane look to it. It was cut low. It had a Native American feel, and I thought Sam -- who claimed to be part Native American -- would “cotton” to it.

When I walked into his office, he was seated and wearing a blue and white paisley bandana covering his forehead. He had a deep tan, wrinkled skin and sparkling mischievous eyes. “Walk around for me?” he said, sternly. Like a good obedient actress on an audition, I did as I was told. Minutes later I was told I could leave.

Leaving, I passed my competition a stunning Veronica Hamel, who had starred in “Hill Street Blues.” She was wearing a suit. Why, I wondered!

Later that day, my agent called to say I had been cast, Sam had liked the dress I had worn on the audition so much that he asked me to wear it for the filming. Great, I thought!

Off-topic, but I feel the rash of Sam Peckinpah remakes is oddly reminiscent of the William Castle remakes 10 years ago. Remember those?

"Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia" (1973) is Peckinpah's supreme masterwork.

Halloween is an abomination and it must be destroyed with malice-a-fore-thought and extreme prejudice.

Andy, those Bill Castle remake's were superb and ludicrously under-rated on their initial release's. I actually thought they were even better than Castle's original's.

The original's and the remake's of "Straw Dogs" and "The Killer Elite" are all pure bollock's.

Andy, Baron, visit "The Pauline Hickey Fan Page" or "Pauline Hickey Vintage Porn" for dozens of naked images of one of the most incredible birds of all-time. Also, go to "Anal Base-POV Anal" and "Anal Base-Gaping Anal" for literally hundreds of movie clips and pictures of beautiful gorgeous sexy young girls being buggered senseless ! ! !.

Well, so much for intelligent internet conversation.

But more importantly Andy, what did you think of the ass-tonishing Miss Hickey ?.

teddy crescendo said...

Hey Andy, i replyed to your com-girl-t regarding the Bill Castle remake's, how much more intelligent can you get than that ! ?.

Well, sorry, Ed. Though I'm not much for Peckinpah, seeing his career as one long slump after RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, though perhaps little could outdo the badness of STRAW DOGS...till a guy I knew decades ago turned his pompous hand to it.

"CONVOY" was quite a good film, thats the one everybody usually forgets.
