Don?

What is Don Frances doing playing a copper in John Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13"?

What really makes this movie special is the teribble yet perfect music. It cracked me up the whole time, just some guy sitting around smoking something and playing four different notes on a synthesizer. Imagine a typical 70s B picture with the sexual tension between all the characters palpable, mostly inappropriate, and distracting. The dialogue is priceless. Everyone is trying to figure out why this one prisoner has a nickname of "Napoleon" and he keeps saying, "Maybe I'll tell you sometime." I love that it is set in L.A., I love that all ethnicities are represented in the various gang members. When did L.A. gangs stop their equal opportunity programs? Must have been the teribble 80s.
