Day of the Hunter

Someone from the production staff should have re-thought the ending and possibly re-shot or edited out some of the worse filmed special effects (and I used the term loosely) a viewer has ever seen. It appears it was filmed by a ten year old and a friend in order to get an passing grade in 4th grade animal science. As already been pointed out- it was laughable.

The character actor John Anderson plays a strange frontiersman Cass Callicot. Cass is handy with a rifle and has heard stories about a man in North Fork, Lucas, that he wants to challenge to a contest to see who is really the best.

However, Lucas wants no part of any contest. Even with Cass trying to bait Lucas into a showdown, Lucas takes the high road and refuses the badgering of the frontiersman. Cass only has one option and that is to take the most precious thing Lucas has in life- Mark.

The story, even though lacking in areas, was not really that bad. But after watching the ending, the entire experience is ruined for the viewer. Someone over-thought this ending and made the entire episode seem for naught. The series is better than this episode reveals.
