Discovered Wolf 1994 while searching for Michelle Pfeiffer's body count.


 

As another scraggly old paw emerged on screen, the lion kingdom pondered how this was another geriatric get together from Nicholson's later career.


 But no, it was Pfeiffer after hitting 35, dear god.

 


 


 The object of every Nicholson movie after 1980 was to get him to make as many crazy facial expressions as possible.  What could be crazier than making him turn into a werewolf?

 

  


57 year old Jack obviously had a stunt double doing the running scenes.  He was pretty fried by 1990.

 

 There were some nifty views inside the Bradbury building







Not to be confused with Bladerunner.







 Old Westbury mansion.  The Pfeiffer cottage may have been a movie set.  Nothing on IMDB matched it.

 After a ponderously slow exposition, the ending took the L train. 


 A lion.

 

Twin towers in 1993.


Nicholson got to look crazy a few more times before the stunt double took over. 

 


Another peek at the mid 90's reversion from rear projection TVs back to direct view CRT's.

  The original antagonist basically disappeared.  Lions noted the traditional depiction of the wealthy father in movies is manely false. 

 


 You've got mail famously showed the succession from rich to poor, but the next generation is usually wealthier than the previous generation.  It may be 1 patriarch wins a lottery among the super rich.  Among the bottom 99%, not so much.

 

 So basically, the payoff was seeing Pfeiffer reprise her role as cat woman.  Nicholson ended up biting everyone, though it wasn't depicted.  All the surviving werewolves lived happily ever after in central park.  There was a beauty & the beast aspect which wasn't fully developed.

 Didn't spot the vanderbilt mansion that IMDB claimed was shown.
