For those of us old enough for Saturday Matinee’s we recall the serials, looking forward each week to the bad guy getting caught and seeing how the hero escaped death in last weeks episode!
This is what propelled the Indiana Jones movies to the stratosphere along with special effects!
It’s kinda like a serial, more frequent than once a week, but there is a participation element, like those murder mystery parties. And there are some murders involved in this mystery, along with many other crimes.
I remember those as a kid and seeing a bad guy get shot and killed, only to reappear on another one...
I remember thinking oh he was not dead, he got healed
Then I finally realized it was all fake, just actors, reminds me of the scene from 3 Amigos
Ah the innocence of youth
