I remember an interview with Edward Woodward about that film. He recalled that during the scene he's carried to the wicker Man itself he was saying, off-mic out the corner of his mouth, to the huge, burly Scotsman "You won't drop me, will you?" and being told "Ah'll no' drop yer, Eddie-Boy..."  |

Yes to the original. Britt doing her slappy dance, sexy and eerie.
I once helped a coven of witches do a wicker burning, I did feel a bit sorry for the guy in the wicker effigy at the time, he looked very scared until the flames and smoke took over.......joking. your faces.

"The original was great but freaked me out.
Proof that giving in isn't always bad though
I think it made such a huge impact as it didn't go down the happy ending route."
Absolutely |

"I'm still trying to work out what the point of hiring Britt eckland was, as she had a body double for the nude dancing and had her singing dubbed as well."
That’s still the only but I remember, though. |

Classic.....the ending was so scary to me,when he was in the wicker man and trying to explain to the cult followers that the fruit won't grow regardless how many you people you sacrifice year after year....the smiles and the singing they were doing showed they were brainwashed,and it didn't matter what Edward Woodward said. |
