Red Heat/A World Apart/Rikky and Pete/Poltergeist III/Wings of Desire

Roger Ebert - Host: [reviewing "Poltergeist III"] The screenplay for this movie is also amazing, because it makes a serious tactical error: It uses too many scenes in which the characters incessantly cry out for each other...

Gene Siskel - Host: Oh, yes.

Roger Ebert - Host: "Carol Anne! Carol Anne!" "Bruce Bruce!" "Patricia! Patricia!" "Carol Anne!" "Bruce!" Finally, the mo- the night that I saw it, even the audience was joining in: "Carol Anne! Carol Anne!" "Bruce!" I mean...

Gene Siskel - Host: You hit it...

Roger Ebert - Host: ...I must've heard the name "Carol Anne" a THOUSAND times!

Gene Siskel - Host: Now, I'm disappointed... I'm pleased that you, we're getting into the dynamic of this show.

[Roger laughs]

Gene Siskel - Host: I'm pleased that you were smart enough to pick up on "Carol Anne".

Roger Ebert - Host: Thank you very much.

Gene Siskel - Host: But I was hoping that you wouldn't, 'cause I was going to do my "Carol Anne" imitation.

Roger Ebert - Host: Oh, good. Then we'll be denied that.

Gene Siskel - Host: Because I was sitting there, "I wonder how many times the name Carol Anne is said in this movie." My guess? You guess, just in a second. Think. A hundred?

Roger Ebert - Host: A hundred, or more.

Gene Siskel - Host: A HUNDRED times I heard the name "Carol Anne! Carol Anne!"

Roger Ebert - Host: Up and down the staircase!

Gene Siskel - Host: "Carol Anne! Carol Anne!"

Roger Ebert - Host: "Carol Anne, Carol Anne" as he goes up. Then behind him is...

Gene Siskel - Host: WHY couldn't she...

Roger Ebert - Host: ...Nancy Allen, his wife. "Bruce Bruce Bruce", as she goes up.

Gene Siskel - Host: How about, why couldn't they just have said one time in the movie, as a joke: "Carol." I would've loved that. The movie stinks.

Roger Ebert - Host: It wouldn't have been that great of a joke, either.
