The Professionals (1966)

The sheriff jolts something down next to a wall calendar that reads January 12, 1812. Just visible through a window, Jake (Woody Strode) approaches. DP: Conrad L. Hall.

“Right now, I don't know if it's me or the dynamite that doin' all that sweatin'.”

– Jake Sharp

Psychic Confession (1982)

James Hydrick spins a one dollar bill – balanced on top of a pin, locked into an airtight, glass box – with the power of his own mind.

“My whole idea behind this in the first place was to see how dumb America was. How dumb the world is.”

– James Hydrick
