Something weird I've noticed about Combat Shock is the weird one-note synth music at the beginning and near the end of the film is the exact same timbre (and possibly the same note being played) as a track on the Manhunter soundtrack. I wonder what kind of synth that was, I really like that sound.
I really love the scene in Combat Shock, near the end, where Viet Nam stock footage is played over the main character's face through a projector. The director of the film said he didn't like that part of the film...?!
Also, I LOVE the whole waiting-in-line scene. Some people say it goes on too long, but it's awesome. The music is a bit odd, though, haha. But it has one of my all time favorite lines in any movie when he actually goes in the unemployment office (note the Frank Zappa on a toilet picture on the wall): "Life is difficult. And since it is difficult, I'm going to take off my jacket." *unemployment office man slowly gets up, slowly takes his jacket off, neatly folds it and sets it down, and then sits back down*
Brilliant.
