First & Last: 'something off the port bow'

the first and last images from a motion picture. Always with the water, I tell you... years of doing this feature has taught me that more filmmakers like to begin and end on shots of water than any other single image.

first line

Cap! Something off the port bow."

[hint: that something is pretty gruesome]

last line?

[not really. a man shaves and a woman tries on clothes.]

Can you guess the movie?

For some reason this is bringing Cruising to mind.

October 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterScottC

I was thinking Cruising as well.

October 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterMichael in DC

Yeah, it's definitely CRUISING.

I don't know why Rush Hour came to mind...

October 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterAnthony Mai

I would've said Splash, but Splash in not "grotesque" so I'll go with Crusing.

October 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterSean

It is indeed CRUISING.

October 26, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterGlenn (the other one)

Yep, you guys got it. It's CRUISING.

October 27, 2012 | Unregistered CommenterNathaniel R

Cruising is such a good movie and a scary one.

So Nathaniel, do you have a yellow handkerchief in your back pocket? ;)
