I always thought it was interesting that they chose Tom Villard as the villian. The guy who played the geek in so many movies was a geeky killer. And it worked.
Best part of the movie was close to the end. The heroine was on the stage then the killer goes though the crowed doing a speech. He's burned all over his body and in the background someone in the crowd says to the killer, "You are one ugly son of a bitch." At that point Tom Villard gets in his face and says, "Same to ya!"
