That's right...an "instructional thriller." Bernhard Goetz, the infamous Subway Vigilante, who shot and killed(sic) four black teenagers in 1984 because he thought they were going to mug him, will star in the indie film, "Every Move You Make."
"Every Move You Make" concerns Casey, a young woman who is hounded by a perverted stalker who knows everything she does. Goetz plays a self-defense instructor on a videotape that Casey rents when she feels that her life is in danger. I guess it was either that or "Death Wish," right?
"Basically, the film is an instructional thriller." explains Glenn Andreiev, the film's director and screenwriter. "I want the audience to be in suspense, and learn something at the same time."
"My rehearsal with him was very smooth. For somebody new to acting and film, Mr. Goetz handles it all like a trained actor," remarks Andreiev.
"In our initial meeting with him, Mr. Goetz comes across as somebody who likes to teach. He's informative on many subjects," commented Paul Kanter, the film's co-producer. "It was only natural to cast him in this part."
Just make sure you keep your hands out of your pockets when around the guy, right?
"Every Move You Make" is currently being shot in New York.
IMHO, this is gross misnomer - he was Subway Self-Defender.
All the recipient of Bernard Goet'z hot lead who could still walk, were later arrested for other violent crimes. In fact they were arresteste for these crimes prior to Goetz being tried for shooting them.
If New York had a concealed carry law, I doubt these punks would have ever bothered Bernard Goetz.

How about "subway vEgilante? Yes, he;s a vegetarian activist now, often appears wearing a giant Peapod costume (to promote the VivaVegie organization), and even ran for mayor, and may be planning to again, to promote a choice of vegetarian menus in city schools, jails, and hospitals. He ran on the Fusion Ticket in 2001, was courting the Libertarian party for the 2005 ticket (he may have quit, though), and want to rebuild thw twin towers, rather than the lone freedom tower.
Interesting language
Odd thread to bubble up, almost like backwash.
I've stumbled on such "ancient" posts myself. Just funny to see one gain life again.
In any case, Bernhard Goetz what he shoots...
Bernhard always Goetz what he shoots.
@#%^#. didn't realize it was an old thread!
This is no longer an old thread, as I can announce that Goetz is filming (shooting?)another feature, also directed by Andreiev, in which he portrays a nutritional consultant-to vampires! Also, according to an article in NY Newsday, he fires a gun in this film, and complained about the size of the prop gun provided for him(it wasn't big enough!) The title for the film is "Silver Night". No, I'm not making this up!!!
For all of his eccentricities, Bernie Goetz remains a hero of mine. I admired him as a 9 year old and still respect what he did to this day.
By the way, WHERE'S THE SQUIRRELS???
