Trivia

In an interview with Scott Cain of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (8-8-1986), Jenny Wright noted that the most difficult scene for her in "Out of Bounds" was the one in which Jeff Kober broke through a window and grabbed her around the neck from behind. She noted that it required a lot of concentration to keep the audience from realizing she was about to be attacked, even though she knew it herself.

Out of Brains? Out of directing, out of everything!!

It's so screamingly bad, that it's fun to watch.

I.E.,in a chase scene when being pursued by the local police, he jumps onto a motorcycle in an alley occupied by a much larger man than he and says "Get the Hell outta here!" Now there's a detailed directive. In so little as not even questioning the authority of this 'beanpole' who popped onto the back of his bike, as to what's going on? He complies with the demand and takes off like a scalded monkey!

I'm just sad that other more worthy projects don't get made, don't get funded, due to the fact that the money is being spent on moronic-movies...like this little gem. The directing was so poor and facetious it's obvious that this was only made for a bunch of 'braces baring' teen and pre teen giggly girls and teen-Beat heart throb 'Hall'. This is his vehicle. This is not about being a truly well made story. When I looked up the director of this movie, a Mr. Tuggle, I was thankful that he has not been put to 'Work' on more films. He has only directed one other movie that I could find. That one actually worked out a little better, TIGHTROPE - Starring: Clint Eastwood. Since Eastwood always seems to bring back a great performance, between the two, 'Tightrope' is the only choice here there or well, anywhere.
