The director hired unknowns for many roles, especially tapping theater actors. So we see in their first films:
๐บEdward James Olmos (in the theater?)
๐บDiane Venora
๐บGregory Hines (he actually did have a small role in History of the World Part 1 which was released first by a little)
a bunch of cops better get eaten in this
That's not even the sewers, that's just the toilets on the ground floor of any NYC structure. #Monsterdon
Wolf attacks: 30 seconds of screen time
Random guys introducing each other: 3 minutes
#monsterdon Gregory Hines always looked 50 years old
'sup hines
Oh great, Rent-A-Cops. RICH rent-a-cops :/ :/ #Monsterdon
"Homicide, Kidnapping, Results. And wolves, but that's just a hobby. Not yet come up in a crime in New York Sit-tay."
yay gregory hines :blobheartcat:
Why are NYC mayors in the movies are such jerks? #Monsterdon
Poor people do dirty drugs.
Rich people have party favours.
#Monsterdon
who would win in a scowl-off between Albert Finney and Brian Cox?
The mayor used the same material for his hat as his suit. I think it's the mayor.. maybe an inspector?
"There was some cocaine. ...Yeah, of course I pocketed it."
That guy is Hungry Like the Wolf
Oh no a bombing/demolition joke. #Monsterdon
"God knows what's next" Yeah, it's a Whitely Strieber film, it's gonna be like that. #Monsterdon
Better close the beaches!
"God knows what's next" Eat more rich people. #monsterdon #Wolfen
Okay, well, I was just here buying my papers. See you suckers later. #Monsterdon
I often try to remember if I'm a detective, too. #monsterdon
I knew I'd seen this effect somewhere before.
#Monsterdon #Wulfen1981
Well, that's a good night's work for werewolves. #Monsterdon
Oh no you killed rich people now the police will get involved. #Monsterdon
Are seagulls nocturnal?? #Monsterdon
Sniff around
LOL
#monsterdon
I don't suppose the corgi was actually the werewolf?
#monsterdon sterdon
Pope Chris Van Der Veer, the richest Pope in history. #Monsterdon
"We've got our number one cannibal mutilation serial killer sexual assault guy on the case.
Flew him in by helicopter.
No, he has no academic qualifications in lupinology, why would you even ask?!"
Vanderville, not Vanderbilt due to very good legal reasons
#monsterdon
Hah! They ate the rich. I'm already team wolf. #monsterdon #Wolfen
#monsterdon Do you WANT Batmans? That's how you get Batmans...
Nick Fury for this team. #Monsterdon
that's a jessica fletcher setup shot
where's jessica? she'll get this sorted in less than an hour
Pretty sure New York is never this quiet
Actually, there arenโt any characters yet. So far, there are just broad strokes of characterization. Like they're trying to do a pastiche of characterization, but not quite go all-in on committing to whole characters.
So this guy has helicopters at the ready? Or did he call an uber?
big shot Wolfen splashing around its non-essential helicopter scene money
Why not take the subway to the crime scene and save on the police budget?
I guess when your THE werewolf investigator, they have high expectations. #monsterdon
Well he said fly.
Wolfen (1981) #Watching #Monsterdon https://letterboxd.com/imdb/tt0083336
@overholt that hit me like a ton of bricks, thank you for the flashback to 1981 network tv
Late for mass? Like they'll stop serving it overnight? #Monsterdon
A pay phone! I miss pay phones.
#Monsterdon
I'm late for mass... that excuse aint gonna fly.
Guy on phone, HOW CAN YOU RESIST THAT CORGI FACE?
I just spotted the next guy who needs to get eaten. But he's having too many lines for that to be probable, so far.
Head banded Albert Finney running up a hill was giving me Christopher Walken vibes.
a beeper. and then he has to call them back via pay phone. pardon me, i think there's a tall man in a black robe with a scythe knocking on my door.
Yeah, right. Albert Finney running. #Monsterdon
Corgi!!!
Joe Don Baker's pager goes off #Monsterdon #Wolfen1981
Friends and neighbors, witness: a stereotypical 80s protagonist.
Ein Cameo!
Wolfen call home...

Tonight's feature was the first movie to use a thermographic visual photographic look to represent the point-of-view of a character: the wolfen. You saw it later in Predator.
oooor we're just switching to an entirely new cast. i forgot doing drugs makes you worthy of death
Why did I think Christopher Walken was in this?
"So that's what Albert Finney looks like with hair!" - my partner #monsterdon
Oh. Ew. It was still moving... #Monsterdon
Oh, no, we switched over to Mitchell, already in progress. #Monsterdon
Hang on, aren't you famous? #Monsterdon
Okay, I'll give the movie credit for the hand thing at the end of that sequence.
Do Wolfen eat their kills, or is it some mystical energy thing?
IT WAS ALL A DREAM #Monsterdon
Okay, okay, I guess it wasn't a racist monster, they just decided to be dicks & kill the Black guy first. Sigh. #Monsterdon
oh nice finger releasing the trigger effect
If WOLFEN eats that woman, does it get high?
That was quite the blood splatter #Monsterdon
So far the special effects are mwah! Chefโs kiss
@floatybirb it looks like posterization, edge sharpening, and masked hue rotation #monsterdon

#Monsterdon ๐บ #Wolfen I don't care if humans die (sorry Mr. non-Caucasian limo driver) but leave the animals alone
i assume this white guy survives and becomes the werewolf ,protagonist,
Look, I know what colors dogs usually see because I watch Bluey. This is inaccurate Wolf Vision #Monsterdon
Was this a dry run for The Predator? #monsterdon
oh they tried so hard with the pearls and blood drops shot, it _almost_ worked
@klu9 that's immediately what I thought, too!
#monsterdon oh no Bruce Wayne's parents!! Is this how he became, the Wolfman??
Horner didn't swtich it up much did he? I'm expecting Khan to come out of the nebula any second. #monsterdon #Wolfen
ah I may have spoken too soon
The monster is a WindWolf #Monsterdon
This wolfvision is quite beautiful. #Monsterdon
Just eat them already!
#Monsterdon #Wulfen1981
ah yes, this one you can eat. go ahead.
hahahaha flying severed hand!
#Monsterdon
Is this day-for-werewolf-vision-for-night?
this wolf-o-vision is technically a night filter cuz you can tell it's actually day when it's being used.
Oh not good. You've seen it. Now you're. Oh. I'm so sorry, dude. You were the best part of this film so far. #Monsterdon
This playground is full of "the that thing" things
You dare to have sex on MY windmill?
Ha ha ha :D
AND THE HAND'S AT THE TWENTY, THE THIRTY... #Monsterdon
