Me an my mates watched all of these wen we wer in collage and thats the night where i became a dad
Jesus I’ve not seen this for nearly 30 years but I could still remember the “I’ll be back ack..ack…”!!! I also remember the one with the old man falling onto the table trying to reach somehing high up and a woman and kid saw him fall. I used to laugh at that!!
Why do you watermark your name over something that doesn’t belong to you?
very effective film im 40 now and i never forgot it , wish i knew where i put my soddin car keys though
0.17 the mixed-race kid on the left (in a pale yellow top and jeans) is Terry Sue Patt (Benny Green from early Grange Hill).
I notice that the old film Apaches, where all the kids die in horrific accidents on the farm, has been removed. Now THAT’S some scary stuff.
I guess that this why my folks made sure that we all knew how to swim?
That is so scary. i had nightmares after watching it.
@ dimebolt1976 – yes, kids do still speak like that, it’s called East London honey!
This petrified me for years.
It took me until 1998 to be able to watch that in full on the Charley Says video. Donald Pleasance never got past saying “I am…” before I turned it off.
@dimebolt1976 QUICK GIS THAT BIG STICK TA GAT ‘IM AHT!!!
@CANBERRACOURTBOY
haha! her voice is hilarious, do kids still talk with that accent anymore in real life! The way you spelt it, fits perfectly with the audio to
christ its like a bergman film!
that girl that said theres ‘’samwam in tha wata” sounds like stacy slater from eastenders
this scared the shit out of me when i was a kid
Creepy shit!
ahahahaha! that could be the remake
“I’ll be Back”
Then suddenly he ran over the kids with his van.
“I’ll be back” came before Arnie then.
that used to scare me back in the early 1970’s,it was probably the best PI film of that era,better than that clunk clicking peroxide ponce jimmy saville
That hasn’t put me off swimming in lakes, its put me off watching TV!
How many lives did it save though?
And two drowned “tombstoning”
That is super creepy!!
I think I may have just discovered why my fear of water comes from LOL
