Targets is a 1968 American thriller, written and directed by Peter Bogdanovich and filmed in color by László Kovács.
The story concerns a quiet, clean-cut young insurance agent and Vietnam War veteran named Bobby Thompson (Tim O'Kelly) who murders his young wife, his mother and a grocery delivery boy at home, then goes on an afternoon shooting rampage from atop a San Fernando Valley oil storage tank. Several motorists and passengers are wounded or killed on the nearby freeway. When the police respond and start to close in on him, he flees and takes refuge in a Reseda drive-in theater where aging horror film icon Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff) is about to make a final in-person promotional appearance before retiring from show business. Thompson, perched on the framing inside the screen tower, resumes his killing spree after sunset, randomly shooting theater patrons as they sit in their cars watching the film. In a climactic confrontation, the elderly Orlok slaps the murderer into submission. As the police take him away Thompson remarks with apparent satisfaction that he "hardly ever missed".
Excerpt from 'Targets', 1968 (direction by Peter Bogdanovich). In this powerful scene, one of the main characters, played by Tim O'Kelly, goes up on a remote place, meticulously arrays his selection of guns, has a Coke and a sandwich, as if he was on a casual hunting trip, and prepares himself for shooting; unfortunately, his victims are going to be drivers on the highway.
TARGETS are people...and you could be one of them! Elderly horror-film star who, while making a personal appearance at a drive-in theater, confronts a psychotic Vietnam veteran who's turned into a mass-murdering sniper. Starring Boris Karloff & Tim O'Kelly. Directed By Peter Bogdanovich.

Exhibits the film's heavy use of false reality and unexpected juxtaposition of perspectives.
In this excerpt from the film 'Targets' (1968, direction by Peter Bogdanovich), the main character, actor Byron Orlok (played by Boris Karloff), narrates a compelling short story, about death and avoiding our fate. I've transcribed the full story here: Once upon a time, many, many years ago, a rich merchant in Bagdad sent his servant to the marketplace to buy provisions. And after a while the servant came back, white-faced and trembling and said, 'Master, when I was in the marketplace, I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and I turned to look and I saw it was Death that had jostled me. When she looked at me she made a threatening gesture... Oh, master, please lend me your horse and I will ride away from this city and escape my fate. I will ride to Samara; death will not find me there.' ...
A well crafted excerpt from Peter Bogdanovich's 1968 film Targets
Peter Bogdanovich's harrowing directorial debut was made independently and sold to Paramount, becoming an effective calling card for his career in the majors. In the wake of the rash of 1968 political assassinations the studio got cold feet and slapped on a misjudged gun control card at the beginning. Bogdanovich plays a film director named Sammy Michaels in tribute to Samuel Fuller, whose middle name was Michael and who refused screen credit for his contributions to the screenplay. This reissue trailer leans heavily on the director's "The Last Picture Show" fame.
In this episode, Ryan Stockstad talks about the movie that Eggs is possibly most indebted to: Targets (1968). Perhaps more of a thriller than a horror movie, Targets was directed by Peter Bogdanovich, and stars Bogdanovich, Boris Karloff, Tim O'Kelly and Nancy Hsueh. The script was co-written by Bogdanovich and Polly Platt with an uncredited rewrite from Samuel Fuller.
Σπονδυλωτή ταινία, η πρώτη μεγάλου μήκους, του Peter Bogdanovich, ο οποίος συνεργάστηκε και στο σενάριο. Η ταινία αφηγείται δύο ιστορίες. Η πρώτη παρακολουθεί τη ζωή του Μπράιαν Όρλοκ (Boris Karloff), παλαίμαχου ηθοποιού ταινιών τρόμου, που φτάνει στη δύση της καριέρας του και θεωρεί πλέον τον εαυτό του αναχρονιστικό και ξεπερασμένο. Η δεύτερη ιστορία αφηγείται τη ζωή ενός γόνου Αμερικανικής μεσοαστικής οικογένειας, ο οποίος ζει μια καθόλα φυσιολογική ζωή, με τη γυναίκα του, τους γονείς του, το κάμπριο αυτοκίνητό του και την αγάπη του για τα όπλα και τη σκοποβολή. Μέσα από την σκιαγράφηση των δύο χαρακτήρων, ο Bogdanovich καταφέρνει να τονίσει την αποστροφή προς τη βία και τη φρίκη της γενιάς που φεύγει και την έλξη προς την αποκτήνωση και το μίσος της νέας γενιάς. Στην πραγματικότητα α...

http://www.challengetargets.com/product/ARP-80026-H-3PK.html Barret and I had much fun building this target stand. Our standard was to use as few tools and bought materials as possible. Most of the stand is made from scrap lumber. Even the 4" x 8" was a junk piece of timber I got from my heavy timber supplier. He said he had some he could not sell and gave it to me for $20 :) Thanks to Challenge Targets for asking us to make the video! They are a great bunch of guys. Part 2 will include the range trip and finalizing the reset function. I will also include links for the SketchUp file download.

Targets!
Dying inside
Drying with mindless cry
Finding a brand new? life?
By rejecting the urge to fly
Flying by own free will
Going with the internal wind
Facing some problems:
The unseen cracks, the visible gloom
Numb creative mind
Dull social life
No achievements
No plan to meet the targets
Targets!
How to find a new key
When the previous have gone bad?
I? m locked from inside
Externally lost, internally chaos
Flying by own free will
Going with the internal wind
Facing some problems:
The unseen cracks, the visible gloom
Numb creative mind
Dull social life
No achievements
No plan to meet the targets
