Well before THE NAKED GUN was triggering Reggie Jackson, director Don Siegel and Charles Bronson were triggering human time bombs in TELEFON (1977). Quentin Tarantino even borrowed from this film when he chose the Robert Frost poem for Stuntman Mike’s (Kurt Russell) lap dance from Arlene (Vanessa Furlito). It’s not as sexy, but it’s still a good time as Bronson tries to prevent World War III. Enjoy!
Fantastic scene! I have been known to use “being activated” as an excuse when I do something like run the dishwasher twice, or having to return to the supermarket to buy the product I originally went for. My wife will then tell me to “listen carefully, Vanja!” (Russian for John)
