Trivia:
During Jason's flashback of his arrival at the hospital after a car crash, a loudspeaker is heard calling "Dr. Stahl and Dr. Gee to psychiatrics". This is almost certainly a reference to Eric Steven Stahl and Gerald Laurence (a.k.a. G-man), the movie's writers.

Final Approach is a classic mind ride through your subjective consciousness. It centers around two main characters - really superb actors - who rely on each other so heavily that they become one. The process of question and answer is matched by imagination and guess work. While you watch this film you will constantly question why you have the patience to continue, yet, at the same time, it will hypnotize you into to being completely mesmerized. This wonderful film is a piece of movie art. My only concern is that this film is not available on DVD and so many a young fan of perfect cinema will never encounter what other cult-fans have experienced to be an enlightenment of the human imagination.
