"Konga": A movie about a huge ape that was used for medical experiments and escaped to wreck mayhem around town.
I was a paper boy at the time and on weekends I did my route in the predawn dark. One of the scenes showed a paper boy's bike crushed with the wheel still spinning and paper boy missing in the driveway of a customer's house.
People found newspapers in their bushes, under their cars, and even on the roof of the porch for a few weeks after seeing that movie. I refused to go up anyone's driveway to deliver the paper in the dark. I pitched them from the sidewalk or street which was just beyond my accurate range.
I think I was 12 or 13 yrs. old at the time.
