Trivia
When James Sikking auditioned for the role of the assassin, Sir John Boorman rejected him and told him that his face was too nice for a killer. For the next week, though, Boorman would look out his office window at MGM and see Sikking standing outside, partially concealed by a bush or a column, just watching him menacingly. The director eventually walked out and offered him the part.

Goofs
After Chris leaves Walker in her apartment, Reese is shown standing and staring through a large plate glass window as though he is looking outside, but the reflection of a red camera light can be seen in the glass.

Quotes
Chris: Hey. What's my last name?
Walker: [pause] What's my first name?

Point Blank is one of the most influential films of the 1960's

Point Blank is one of those lost gems from the 1960's. It got buried because it was released around the same time as Bonnie and Clyde. This film combines all the great elements of the American action film with flourishes of European art house cinema. John Boorman's direction is excellent, and not enough can be said about Lee Marvin's performance. This is without question one of Lee's best tough guy performances. I don't understand how the previous reviewer can say this film seems "dated" and "funny for all the wrong reasons". It is as fresh and interesting as it was back at the time of its release. Those looking for it on DVD may want to know that the widescreen format version appears on TCM occasionally. You may want to pop in a tape the next time it is on until the DVD finally comes out.
