Review of Artifact from the Future: The Making of 'THX 1138'

. . . in the guise of five random movie directors such as Steven Spielberg (1941) and Frank Darabont (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION), plus 16 people involved in making THX 1138 WHO WERE STILL ALIVE THREE PLUS DECADES LATER IN 2004!! Amazingly, only a couple of these ancient geezers display any Alzheimer's Symptoms here. Therefore, viewers are able to learn a lot about the Nitty Gritty aspects of filmmaking. For instance, we're informed that it's the job of the "key grip" to build take-off ramps for Evel Knievel-style motorcycle stunts, IF said Death-Defying Tricks take place in Real Life Mass Transit Tunnels. Vic Morrow and that James Bond aerial cameraman notwithstanding, why risk Life and Limb on Real Life Freeways when you can GET PAID to do it for Tinseltown's sake? Speaking of which, ARTIFACT FROM THE FUTURE informs us that the entire THX 1138 cast worked "for scale" ($30 daily, in 1971 dough), which was a step up for most of them, who were Homeless Hippie Druggies scrounging around San Francisco.
