Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe shot where the camera quickly zooms in on the couple was actually done in reverse. A camera was attached to a truck and driven in reverse, starting from the couple until they can't be seen anymore.
- GoofsWhen the couple are lying on the ground kissing in the opening, they both turn their heads to look (her to her right and him to his left) when they hear the lawnmower. But when the scene cuts to the POV of the mower heading towards them, they're looking in the opposite direction.
- Crazy creditsAfter the closing credits there is a scene in which a hedge trimmer starts up on its own. And then the words: HEDGES Just when you thought it was safe to trim.
- Alternate versionsThe German video version (rated 'Not under 16') released in 1989 by UFA Video omits 7 seconds of violence.
- ConnectionsReferenced in Tromeo and Juliet (1996)
Featured review
Affectionate Jaws spoof
BLADES is, unsurprisingly given the title, an affectionate homage to Spielberg's classic JAWS. The setting this time around is a golf course, where the wide green fairways substitute for the deceptively calm surface of the ocean, and a cast of middle-class golfers find themselves next in line for the chop. The killer, somewhat bizarrely, is an animated lawnmower with a thirst for human blood, but I've seen so many B-movies by now that even that doesn't seem too odd to me. There's the expected rubbery gore, severed limbs and cheeseball action sequences, including a classic reverse-dolly camera zoom reimagining of the famous Scheider-in-a-deck-chair shot. Hardly classic cinema, but it is fun.
