Before the movie "Red Dragon", an adaptation of a Thomas Harris book by the same name

there was "Manhunter"

and there was the scene with the killer playing Iron Butterfly's "In a Gadda da Vida"

:evilgrin:

1. I remember reading the first pages of Red Dragon,I knew this was gonna be a good one.

Great movie too. Iron Butterfly scene was too cool.

[SPKrazy]

2. That scene sticks out for me

I thought Manhunter was at least as good as the movie Red Dragon

:shrug:

[Lautremont]

4. I think Manhunter is one hundred million times better than Red Dragon.

Inagada Divida is only one of the reasons!

[SPKrazy]

6. It does make that movie

s c a r y!!!!!!

:hi:

17. Manhunter is one hell of a movie

Far superior to the Anthony Hopkins ham-and-cheese Lecter movies that followed, IMO.

It had an awesome soundtrack, too, and it's a crying shame that it's not available on CD.

20. I have the wax platter version - it is pretty awesome.

There's a couple of clams in there - Red 7? - but overall it's pretty great stuff.

19. I haven't seen the movie since I was in the theater...

But, as soon as I saw the thread title, the Iron Butterfly song started going through my head.

5. Manhunter blows Red Dragon out of the water.

[SPKrazy]

7. see, i knew i wasn't alone

was looking at the full moon tonight and it got me to thinking about the song and then the movie and then the post, and now replying to you...

[cemaphonic]

15. Yeah, Red Dragon was such a waste of a really great cast.

Maybe they should have given it to a real director or something.

I'm not too crazy about Manhunter either though. Mann was still too aesthetically tied to Miami Vice or something. Cox was a great villain though, and the Iron Butterfly scene was a classic.

16. You're all kooky

:crazy:

If anyone makes me watch Manhunter again, I'll glue them to a wheelchair and bite their lips off.

11. "Manhunter" stalks and eviscerates "Red Dragon"

[Swede]

12. The scene with Shreikback's The Big Hush was cool too.

13. Shriekback rules.

Manhunter was fantastic.

[NewJeffCT]

18. wow, somebody else that remembers Shriekback!

I got into them my freshman year of college in 85-86 with their "Oil & Gold" album... one of my favorite albums of all time.
