Hello Sheldon, I wasn't talking about intruder, I was talking about night crew, which was indeed shot in Detroit. I had nothing to do with intruder, nor have I even seen it

What you omitted (or forgot) from your recollection about "Night Crew/Intruder" was Lawrence Bender's involvement. If you look it up on IMDB you'll see he's credited as a producer. And the movie was not shot in Michigan, but in Los Angeles. I know this because I visited the set a couple of times while they were shooting, in some nondescript suburb near Downtown L. A. Sam Raimi was there too, playing the store's butcher. Lawrence's girlfriend at the time, Liz Cox, was the female lead. (TRIVIA: Liz later dated Oliver Stone for a short while). I'm the one who hooked up Scotty with Quentin, then hooked up Scotty with Lawrence, which begat Lawrence and Quentin becoming a powerhouse team, which led to a couple of Oscar-winning movies. Even further down the road, of course, Quentin loosely used "Thou Shalt Not Kill Except..." as the basis for his best and most successful movie ever, which is "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood." Which is also my favorite Tarantino movie, and yours too, as I recall.
