    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Against the director Lewis Teague's wishes, the studio cut out a prologue that explained the cat's motivations. They considered it "too silly." As a result, many viewers were confused by the connection between the three stories.
    • Goofs
      When Norris almost loses his balance and falls, we can see a hook on his shirt.
    • Quotes

      Sally Ann: Polly got in one good peck before that cat killed her. Good for Polly!

      Hugh: I certainly never realized that Polly had such a big pecker.

    Entertaining Black Humor
    A trilogy of entertaining black humor. The first story is the strongest with the best stars. Alan King is deliciously evil as the head of Quitters, Inc., an anti-smoking group that uses mob tactics to stop its members from smoking. James Woods is excellent as Alan King's newest client.

    The middle story is somewhat weaker entry starring Kenneth McMillan as a mobster who makes a lethal bet with Robert Hays after Hays steals his wife from him. A good story but not as good as the first.

    The last story is the weakest entry of the three. An evil troll is out to steal Drew Barrymore's breath in this silly story. Our title cat tries to prevent that. The special effects for the troll doll are pretty good and the ending is funny. All-in-all an entertaining entry in the Stephen King collection of movies. A C+/B-

    • In the beginning of the movie, the red car that nearly hits the cat has two bumper stickers. What do they say?
    • When you go to Quitters Inc. to quit smoking, what will happen if you get caught smoking?
    • Why did Cressner make Johnny Norris circle around the ledge outside his high-rise condo?
