    • Trivia
      Against the director Lewis Teague's wishes, the studio cut out a prologue that explained the cat's motivations. They considered it "too silly." As a result, many viewers were confused by the connection between the three stories.
    • Goofs
      When Norris almost loses his balance and falls, we can see a hook on his shirt.
    • Quotes

      Sally Ann: Polly got in one good peck before that cat killed her. Good for Polly!

      Hugh: I certainly never realized that Polly had such a big pecker.

    A Gem of the Black Humor
    A stray cat witnesses weird and suspenseful events in three different cities.

    In New York, Richard Morris (James Wood) is convinced by a friend to look for the support of the Quitter's Inc. to stop smoking. The unconventional and efficient procedure followed by the company terrifies Richard.

    In Atlantic City, a powerful professional gambler, Cressner (Kenneth McMillan), makes a mortal bet with the tennis teacher and lover of his wife, Johnny Norris (Robert Hays).

    In Wilmington, NC, a troll, living inside the wall of the bedroom, threatens the ten years old girl Amanda (Drew Barrymore).

    These three tales are gems of the black humor, combining elements of suspense, comedy and horror. The first tale is very funny, with the situation where James Wood gets through without previous warning. The second tale is pure suspense, having some funny moments, and is certainly the darker story. And the last one shows a very sweet ten years old Drew Barrymore. The movement of camera in some moments recalls "Evil Dead". "Cat's Eye" is a great entertainment. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "Olhos de Gato" ("Cat's Eyes")

    • In the beginning of the movie, the red car that nearly hits the cat has two bumper stickers. What do they say?
    • When you go to Quitters Inc. to quit smoking, what will happen if you get caught smoking?
    • Why did Cressner make Johnny Norris circle around the ledge outside his high-rise condo?
