Kinda offbeat but good

This is a kinda offbeat but interesting movie. James Coburn and Albert Finny give somewhat believable performances. Susan Dey is very good, and there is more to this movie then seeing Laurie Partridge nude, however having said that, Susan Day nude is a plus. Some of the other cast need to take acting classes, and there is a change to see a young Tom Sellec lookalike.

Still love it

I loved Looker when I first seen it on HBO over 20 years ago and when I seen it on Amazon.com I just had to have it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes beautiful models, suspence, and action all combined into one movie. Definetly loved it. Enjoy

Forget Jurassic Park!!!!!!!!!!!

I used to watch Looker all the time when I was a little kid. It was one of those that could be seen on HBO frequently, so it was hard to avoid. I even had it taped on Beta(yes, BETA!!). As a child I never completely understood the plot details as they were a bit over my head at that age. I did know a plastic surgeon was investigating deaths of women and it somehow lead to a sinister looking guy with a mustache and some goofy fake tv commercials with no actors in them. Two things really attracted me to this movie as a kid. First, there was a brief naked shot of an attractive woman early in the film(since R rated films were shown after my bed time, I didn't see this often), and for reasons unknown to me at the time, I found this brief sequence terribly exciting. Secondly, the Looker Gun. In this film, the killer uses a gun that shoots a beam of light and freezes people in a hypnotic state for varying periods of time. I thought this was fascinating.
Until recently I hadn't seen this movie since probably 1988. Now I understand it, and it remains quite interesting. In the film, Albert Finney is a plastic surgeon who realizes that the television commercial actresses he has operated on are ending up dead. He plays detective and finds that the deaths are linked to a shady corporation headed by James Coburn, and that this company is dabbling in a new technology. The technology involves making tv commercials with computer generated actors that put the viewer in a hypnotic state and become engrossed with the product. You will WANT that perfume!! You will WANT that kitchen cleaner!! Damn it, you WILL WANT that box of Oaties cereal!! Along with the commercials, the corporation also designs the aforementioned freeze gun. So, it's up to Finney to stop the killing and bring the corporation down before we start seeing these commercials in our homes.
It's a really cool movie! As a kid, the name Michael Crichton meant nothing to me, but now it all makes sense. In 1981 this was science fiction. Computer generated actors selling a product on a tv commercial?? How absurd!!! A lot of the things in this film have become science fact. Not all of them, but the scary thing about it is just how damn close we are to seeing some of these things in the near future(if not already and we don't know it)
Looker's not a very poular film, more of a cult deal, but a lot of folks do seem to remember that freeze gun. Check it out, it deserves to be seen by a few more people. Snazzy theme song too.

Great futuristic oldie

The movie came timely and accordinly. I've seen it years ago in the early eighties, and I enjoyed watching it again now. Thanks!
