Talking points for after the movie NOTE – SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! • The key chain in the gift bags is a special device that allows you to separate your car key from your house keys, so you can give it to the valet with peace of mind! • There are 5 different tips in the Bad Samaritan Safety Tip Series pencils included in the gift bags. The TIP # corresponds to the page in the script where the tip was gleaned. • The character who is the head of the FBI is played by the screenwriter Brandon Boyce, who also wrote Apt Pupil. • Kerry Condon, the victim in Bad Samaritan, is also in the biggest movie in America this weekend. She's the voice of Friday in Iron Man's suit. • According to Director Dean Devlin (Stargate, Independence Day, "Leverage", "The Librarians") the line "THAT'S HOW YOU &!@$&^# SAVE SOMEBODY" is the whole reason he made the movie. He loved the fact that it was the "helpless" woman victim that saved the hero, rather than the other way around. • In the original script, the handle doesn't break on the axe, and Robert Sheehan ends up killing Cale. After working with David Tennant, Dean wanted to keep his character alive. Which ending do you prefer? • Robert Sheehan (the protagonist in the movie), is a proud member of Legion M. He's even submitted his photo for the photomosaic. Have you?? (FYI-if you haven't, just go to www.legionm.com, click on "member benefits" and then "log into member portal". The shared password is topsecret. Shhhhh.... :)) • Bad Samaritan is entirely produced, directed, financed, and distributed by Dean Devlin's company, ELECTRIC ENTERTAINMENT, something that is almost unheard of for a major motion picture. • Legion M's credit in Bad Samaritan is one of the very last ones in the film, because we were one of the very last partners to get involved. Dean has said that if he'd known about Legion M earlier, he would have brought us in as one of the first! Dean also LOVED the idea of including the Legion M mosaic of shareholders and tried to figure out how to include it, but it was just too late this time around. Next time!! .

He lives in isolation in a burnt-out chapel, waiting for a phone call which he is convinced will provide him with answers he has long sought. Qohen works on a mysterious project, delegated to him by Management (Matt Damon), aimed at discovering the purpose of existence - or the lack thereof - once and for all. But his solitary existence is disturbed by visits from the flirtatious Bainsley (Mélanie Thierry), and Bob (Lucas Hedges), Management’s wunderkind son. Yet it is only once he experiences the power of love and desire that he is able to understand his very reason for being.
