I recall a werewolf film once in which a single man was surrounded by many werewolves in what I believe was New York. There was an impressive shot of the werewolves attemting to break the glass of a building he wasn, and one of Wal Street completely deserted. Anyone have even the vagues idea what flick I might be thinking of?

You wouldn't be thinking of Wolves of Wall Street would you?

Possibly. I thought that it was an older film. Maybe you're right, though.

With Eric Roberts? What a crappy movie.

I'm convinced that Eric Robert's existence in this world is due only to occupying a line of space on movie's end credits, and add a few kbytes of information into IMDB and DVDs (his presence in the movies makes a little bit more information to be stored in the discs due to him moving).

“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

The movie you're refering to is called Wolfen http://imdb.com/title/tt0083336/

Takes place in New York City, and the scene you describe sounds like something I saw while watching it, but that was a few years ago.

I thought that it might be Wolfen. Thanks.

You're welcome.

I'm heavily into the b-movie and horror genres. So if you have any more requests I might be able to help.

I respectfully beg to differ. Eric Roberts is a very talented actor who has been relegated to the ghettos of Hollywood because of bad career decisions and problems with drugs and alcohol. He's definitely more talented than his sister Julia, who should give her Oscar back to the Academy.

OK then, now I know who to turn to! Wolfen comes via Netflix tomorrow (returned some discs and they streangely didn't get them, so it's been a while). I'll watch it then. It's coming with Woody Allen's Match Point, of all things. Lets see if his latest critical darling is worthwhile.

By the way, in Wolfen, how the hell did they film the sequence with Wall Streeet deserted? You'd think that people would just drive through roadblocks in New York. A matte painting.

I knew immediately he was talking about Wolfen. I love that movie.

MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.

MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.

JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.

I haven't seen it in years, so cant help you out there. It was more of a guess because I know the movie is about werewolves and takes place in the city (with some nightime desertedness).
