Synopsis

Danny O'Brien returns to confront Simon Moon, also known as The Terror. Three years earlier, O'Brien had captured The Terror on his own and was praised as a hero by the residents of Los Angeles. After escaping, Simon Moon resumes killing women, and O'Brien is positioned as the sole individual capable of stopping him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
