Hit-and-miss sketches – though with more hits than
misses – in the first appearance of John
Landis, as director, and the Airplane!
team of Zucker-Zucker-Abraham, as producers.
The cinema showing See You Next Wednesday
(John Landis'
regular film-within-a-film title) is the Rialto
Theater, 1023 South Fair Oaks Avenue at Oxley
Street, South Pasadena.
The Rialto is the cinema where Griffin Mill (Tim
Robbins) meets the doomed screenwriter (Vincent
d'Onofrio) in Robert
Altmanís The Player),
and its interior is the site of the premiere of movie-within-a-movie
Stab in Wes
Craven's Scream
2.
