The Movie[]

Made for television in 1978, The Astral Factor features a convicted murder (Frank Ashmore) who learns to use the power of his mind to move objects and make himself invisible. he escapes from prison and hunts down the women whom he believes have wronged him. He is pursued by a dogged police lieutenant (Robert Foxworth).

Obscure References[]

  • "It stinks!"

During the scene with the birthday cake, Joel says "It stinks!" which gets an uproarious response from the audience. This is reference to the very popular Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Pod People in which a character sardonically says "It stinks!", which Joel then mimics in a subsequent sketch.

Notes[]

  • Actress Marianna Hill also appeared in the infamous film Chief Zabu.
