I found the ending satisfying.
In fact, for me it added a question: since the very last shot shows YOUNG Kaylie watching the cops pull away, perhaps the adult Tim & Kaylie parts were merely in the kids' imagination. That is, what they promised to do as adults.
I like your change.
One problem I had with the ending was that the last shot shows little Kaylie watching the cops & ambulance pull away.
That gave me some ambiguous thoughts: Were they were ever adults at all, or was that part of the story being imagined by the kids?
The mirror can "see" beyond its front.
Remember, they were in other rooms, even outside and the mirror manipulated their actions.
Plus it could even make them THINK they turned it around, when actually it would still be frontwise-to.
The auto-smash didn't even work, because it got Kaylie to think she was in another room, seeing her mom's ghost, when in fact she was in the office, facing the mirror at JUST the right height to herself be smashed, saving the mirror.
I thought the various possible holes were pretty well plugged... even my thought: Why call the neighbors, etc, and not 9-1-1? Again, they tried that and were tricked.
Do you mean the Prosecuting Attorney?
If so, it's funny: I couldn't place the accent but it sounded soooo familiar.
But now that you mention it... "True Romance" - the "Sicilian" scene!
But I still liked that character.
Hey, I liked it a lot.
I liked the characters, the plot and the twist.
I don't see her in the "uncredited" list at IMDB.
Maybe you can figure out which character she is on the list?

Yeah, but:
1. It's "movie logic," or perhaps "poetic license,"
2. It was a different day. I'm sure those bright lights... and rubber hoses, etc... were in common use back then.
3. As a successful detective, injured on the job (the silver shin - shades of "King of the Hill's" dad!), he probably got a lot of slack from prosecutors.
4. Cops... and politicians... get away with much more these days!
I just saw this last night.
I vaguely remember someone, maybe Mark, saying that Waldo hid in the stairwell outside the apt. with the shotgun, shot "Laura," then waited 'til Shelby left to stash the gun into the clock, so he wouldn't be caught with it.
If that was Waldo's shotgun, it was the most manly thing about him! Ewww... Those bath scenes!
I liked it, too.
It was also an intelligence test. They didn't want some dumb kid coming to their planet!
I liked this as a kid when it first came out. But re-viewing it as an adult gave me some more depth of the plot and theme of the movie.
Not "Gone with the Wind," but for me, still worth watching now & again.
I look at it that it's a work of fiction. They don't have to explain everything. Even Star Trek didn't do that.
It could even have just been a jump cut, leaving out the months of hyper sleep or… whatever it was.
Hi Jim!
Thanks so much for rescuing the boards! I rely on others to help me figure out some of the more complex plots, etc. Thanks to you, I have a place to go.
Looks like you didn't get all the boards. They seem to have closed them now Sunday Night). But it's sure a valiant effort! I thought of this myself, but too late, and I don't have the resources you seem to.
I only looked at a few movies so far. I don't see if you've supplied a way to answer others' posts; I hope so. It keeps a discussion going.
Good fortune to you on this endeavor. I hope you can monetize it, as IMDB seems to have done. In fact, I see you have a donate button. If you take PayPal, I'll put some in right now.
Thanks again,
Daniel, aka KutWrite
I thought about that. But it's a cool movie device. Esp. as you point out, the little coin-vendor slot in the bar door.
It also implies how much Wick made per hit, since he has rolls of 'em.
I have some set aside for extreme emergencies, and they've cost me from $700 to $1000 per ounce. So Wick's rolls are probably worth millions. Cool house, too. I guess crime paid for him. Except for the Karma part that the Russian dad mentioned.
