Review of Slayground

With respect to the movie "Slayground" which starred Peter Coyote (1983): I was present at the filming of several scenes in Slayground. As past 1st lieutenant and Emergency Medical Technician (for many years) with Nyack Community Ambulance Corps, I had occasion to be on stand-by service, on scene, for the filming crew's safety. The opening scene which is scored with George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone" was shot on route 9W in Haverstraw, New York,USA. One of the murder scenes (with the fish tank) was shot at a restaurant (no longer in existence) at the foot of Main Street (along the Hudson River) in Nyack, New York,USA. Another murder scene was shot in an Auto Body Repair Shop on ROUTE 9W (if I remember correctly it involved chickens) in Congers, New York,USA. The scene that shows a phone call from a Public Booth and shows, in the background, the L.H. Martin store at Samsondale Plaza shopping center was shot along Route 9W in West Haverstraw, New York,USA. The scene that involved the attempted escape and crash of the stolen armored truck was shot in the Tilcon Industries stone quarry in West Nyack, New York,USA. The film crew had their meals catered at our Corps building meeting room. Hence my review may be a little slanted toward the positive, but it was a film that was anything but boring!
