Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Targets is a 1968 horror/thriller film, produced by Roger Corman and directed by Peter Bogdanovich, that focuses on two men in Los Angeles.One is Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff), an aging and beloved horror film actor who has announced his decision to retire from film-making, feeling that Real Life is churning out more and far worse horrors than anything he can hope to put on screen. The other is young Vietnam vet Bobby Thompson (Tim O'Kelly), who unknowingly sets out to prove Orlok's point when he finally snaps under the soulless banality of his existence, gathers up an arsenal, and goes on a shooting spree. Inevitably, the paths of the two men cross...The film is a worthy coda for Karloff's career, a fine directorial debut for Bogdanovich, and a symbolic passing of the torch from one generation of filmmakers to the next.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

Cool Old Guy: Both Boris Karloff and the character he's playing, Byron Orlok. Karloff was a nice guy in Real Life (and he even worked on this film for free when it ran over the two days he owed Corman), and Orlok is pretty much the same. He also proves to be a Badass Grandpa at the end, when he finally comes face-to-face with the sniper: he walks straight into the line of fire, uses his cane to knock the gun away and brings the young whipper-snapper to his knees with a few well-placed slaps. | |
