when phantasm was filmed? not when it was released, but filmed. cos on the trivia section of imdb it says
" A. Michael Baldwin learned to drive in that car, he was only 14 at the time! After the movie was finished, the car was sold"
so i thought he was 14 but then again his birthdate is 1963 so he could have been 16. does anyone know for sure? or what months of what year this was filmed? thanks!

I believe he was 12 when they started filming and 13 when it was done. Check his birthdate on IMDB.

The character of Mike Pearson is said to be 13 (by Jody) and the year the film takes place is 1978. Filming began in March 1977, Baldwin turned 14 in April 1977. They filmed through 1978, so Baldwin started filming at age 13 and ended at age 15. I always had a special kind of pride in the age similarity, and a fondness for the Mike character, as I was 13 in 1978... It was like the movie was speaking to me...

I love Angus' story about standing outside the house, waiting to break through the candy glass window. Everytime Baldwin pulled back the curtain and saw Angus there scowling, he'd break into laughter. It was so frustrating for Angus, I'm sure, doing take after take... But then, having seen those scowls too over many a meal, inches from my face, I always broke down into laughter too! ;D

I liked the story about AMB throwing rocks into the wind machine when they were filming the ending of Phantasm.
