I'm watching the scene right after Jody and Reg break Mike out of the bunker and it goes back to the camp scene and Reggie wakes up,
This is the only time I can recall so far that it shows Jody actually holding the sphere instead of actually being it to open the spacegate.
I just thought that was a little strange.

I did notice that. How can he be holding the sphere when he is the sphere?

Maybe it was just someone's dream... I think Jody was evil in this one as well as 4. Everytime he came around, Mike got jammed up with the Tall Man.

My take on this has started to change, though I have to give P2 a more careful viewing - the only copy I could find had this annoying Spanish dubbing over the English soundtrack so when I get a hold of one that I can follow properly...
Maybe Jody sort of wavers...his allegiance runs both ways and like one of those spheres hit by a bullet that looks like its directionfinder goes whack and it rolls askew on the floor...he sort of shifts from The Tall Man to Michael and back again...?

I found that a bit weird too. Maybe he can be in human form & sphere form at the same time...or just make the sphere an extension of his human form. Another Phantasm mystery.

Good call I didn't even think about that scene.

I just thought that was a little strange. It was an illusion. He was the Sphere. The "Jody" holding it was an hologram. On the other hand, everytime the Sphere "converts" into Jody, it's just an illusion. A complex, holographic system. He is still a sphere.

Things with Jody really haven't made sense from the beginning I mean in P1 when they discover Tommy as a dwarf crashed into a tree and Jody has a flashback of Tommy...mind you it happens pretty quickly but his vision is of the moment Tommy was stabbed by the Lady in Lavender..and the Tommy in the coffin. Why would Jody have that in his flashback if the rumor was Tommy committed suicide?

It's just an "artistic license" from Don's outstanding direction, not a REAL vision from Jody's mind. Sort of reminder for the audience.

Sometimes I get the feeling that Don films scenes because they good a certain way than because they make sense in the Phantasm mythology. Part III and IV are guilty of this more than any of the others, the scenes look really good until you've seen the movie a couple of times and then you think about everything in the frame and somethings just don't add up. storywise. The same could be said about alot of movies though.
