Courtsey of Robert Yancey
|
After Billy leaves Jessica and Logan find
the frightened runner woman. he gives her a canister of
Blind gas to throw if any Sandmen find her. Unfortunately
Francis is lurking in the shadows and after Logan finally
has Jessica convnced he is running he complicates things by
killing the runner. The two would-be assassins outside
assume that Logan did all the killing and that Jessica was
now a traitor.
One of the sequences removed from the
script was that of a confusing mirror maze at the entrance
to Cathedral. This was called The Dazzle Chamber. Cubs on
muscle could not get through because traveling at their high
speed they could not navigate the jagged mirrored surface.
The set was built, but the director and lighting director
realized it would not translate well on film. It was
covered with the same material that the miniature of Arcade
was covered with. That 1970's metalic sticker material which
was, at the time, new and hugely expensive. No footage was
shot on the set. I would love to have a photo of it!
A room of angled, reflecting surfaces.
At one end a jagged corridor, also mirrored, leads away. The
zigzag, angled effect creates an absolute confusion of
images. but Logan leads her unhesitatingly across the
chamber to the corridor. Jessica hangs back, momentarily
certain she's about to smash into something.
