. . . all cooks worth their salt are aware of at least 812 combinations of common culinary ingredients likely to result in the diner's death with varying degrees of pain and rapidity. It is totally irresponsible to allow anyone within a kitchen who is NOT well-versed in each and every one of these fatal concoctions, as they are far more likely to be dangerous in their ignorance of lethal dishes than a well-trained cook. SUDDEN DEATH finds two individuals conspiring against a third party who apparently have NOT even taken Home Econ 101, and who lack ANY kitchen access whatsoever. Naturally, when they are forced to resort to clumsier murder weapons such as guns and classic cars, their efforts go awry.

. . . even if we pronounced it as "duck t-a-p-e." This is what's causing much of the confusion, if not outright controversy, over and surrounding NOBODY 2. Due to severe metal shortages, most of the war ships employed by the Allies during World War Two were held together by adhesive binding strips originally developed to join heating ducts leading back to household furnaces. As we citizens of this our modern 21st century can well imagine, such vessels were not quite unsinkable. One such ship was tragically lost off the coast of England during training exercises leading up to D-Day, claiming about 800 lives. Of course, the duct-taped carrier conveying Big Boy and Little Man to the vicinity of Japan came unglued after these bombs were dispatched, inspiring the original version of JAWS. Poor spellers made the "duck boats" of NOBODY 2 safer than the actual Duct Boats of History's WWII.

. . . about the Man Who Ruined Florida (aka, "The Sunshine State"). Back in the 1900s, when GLIMPSES OF FLORIDA was filmed, tourists seldom took a step without setting foot on an alligator. On many occasions lucky travelers were blessed to observe BOTH of their lower limbs supported by crocks. But then the pernicious Ross Allen, depicted here as the annihilator of 36,000 of these cute peninsular denizens, according to his own count. By the end of Allen's gator carnage, demographers estimate that nearly half of the Old South citizenry had closets full of gator belts, shoes, stilettos and brasiers. Now, in this Our Modern 21st Century, sightseers have been known to spend entire days amid all the relentless sunshine without ever observing an alligator.
