Making of Terminal Exposure
Terminal Exposure is notable in that it was an early work in the career of composer Hans Zimmer who would go on to compose music for The Last Samurai, The Dark Knight, Madagascar and The Lion King among many other films.
At the end of the movie in the scene on Venice Beach, a young and uncredited Danny Trejo can clearly be seen standing behind Ted Lange.
The main characters are called Lenny and Bruce. Lenny Bruce was the so called father of edgy stand up comedy in the 60’s.
The set of Mr. Karrothers’ house is reused from The Wind, another Nico Mastorakis film.
Our view on Terminal Exposure
If you want a nice beach comedy of the eighties that is a bit obscure then Terminal Exposure has what it takes.
It has got the girls, two horny young guys (like Weird Science) and a plot that took bits of Blow Out. It was made by exploitation king Nico Mastorakis and the musical score is from no other then Hans Zimmer. Exploitflix recommended.
