Poor Bastards of Cinema: Terror at London Bridge (aka Bridge Across Time)

This is a weird Film, so it needs a brief recap for context...

- The London Bridge was rebuilt (for real) in Arizona.
- Jack the Ripper was killed on said Bridge (not real) and comes back when someone bleeds on the same block he touched during his fall (also not real).
- David Hasselhoff is the only one who can stop him!

For the climax, he goes back to the *real* fake Village built around said Bridge to stop his last kill.
He leaves his lady (and the Town Librarian) with his Partner.
He looks around for 'Jack' and also wonders where the Night Security Guard is.
...and he's dead.

This *should* be a bigger deal, since Jack needed one more kill to jump back in Time (or something).

However, this one doesn't count, since, I don't know, it's a guy...maybe.
So, to sum up, a guy was killed for just doing his job.  As a double-whammy, as a Security Guard, he doesn't get the 'rub' for being a Cop.

He just gets killed like they do in these Films AND didn't get to get out of Parking Tickets too!

The moral: clearly it is avoid Bridges.  It doesn't end well for ANYONE in this Film.
