Winter Camp: The Movie: Dan needs a stogie
Up Front
Lt. Dan and Mark pursue the one-armed man. We find out that the one-armed man is as quick as a jackrabbit. Mark mentions that he's a member of the police athletic league.
As the pursuit continues, Columbo decides he needs a fresh stogie and Mark obliges by lighting it even as they continue to harry their quarry
Behind the Scenes
- Okay, remember the cigar; it'll make a comeback
- This scene has the most bizarre staging in the movie. Basically, it was filmed with the three running in place. The camera starts out in front at an angle where you can see only Dan and Mark running, it then pans back around so you can see that they are only inches behind the one-armed man. Eventually, the camera moves to the front and they all run toward it.
- Every major (and most minor) Winter Camp Project has at least one disagreement and this scene is it for the movie. Steve Donohue proposed it as sort of an homage to the original Batman TV show, but the director was reluctant to shoot it. Eventually, he agreed and production continued.
- This is probably the second or third funniest part in the movie and one of the few that was intended to be funny.
- You shouldn't smoke, hokay?
Smoking is bahd, hokay?
