When watching Phantasm IV the other night I couldn't help but notice the resemblence of the Tall Mans profile and Mike's in a couple of the shots. Obviously this was done on purpose by Don. So I took a couple of stills from the movie, and combined them...here they are....what does everyone think?

When Reggie is in bed with Jen and he wakes up in the cemetery and 'Tall Man Mike' slaps him on the shoulder, they look very similar I agree. They seem to get the same underbite thing going on when Mike is driving the coach across the desert

I love these subtle hints at Mike and Tally being one and the same. Nice screenshots, IceCreamMan.

Yeah I always thought that was pretty cool myself.
I do think Angus has the look down and own's it that you just can't fully imitate.
These kinda scenes like the Reg graveyard scene with Tall Mike kinda always made me think maybe there are alot of Tall Men around somewhere and it's not just this one.

I do like how in P4 Don did alot of using old footage or just like the Mike and Tall Man facial features and the tree hanging sequence that just went hand in hand with scenes filmed 20 years earlier.

I agree with you 4barrell. I love the use of the older scenes as well. Im glad the original ended the way it did though, as in not the hanging scene.

Well from some things I have read on here lead me to believe they are related. I mean it would be a great twist and make perfect sense.

Holy hannah, yet another thing I didn't catch and I've lost count of the times I've seen Oblivion since it's my favourite. Jeepers, how could I have missed THAT? duhhhh

That's scary!
It kind of looks like Mike's face was superimposed to a tall person's body. But I don't think Don would do that. It's amazing what makeup can do to a person.

Does anyone else think that the tall man's goal in these movies is to turn Mike into a tall man for whatever reason to replace him as the tall man, or to be his apprentice, like Anakin Skywalker style? lol

I always thought the reason The Tall Man went after Mike through the entire series was that he wanted him to become the next Tall Man. How the hell did Mike get that sphere in his head anyways? I did love that scene in part IV when Reggie dreams of Mike looking like The Tall Man...who knows, there might be a part 5...
