[Note: While I was still working on Mind Ripper, Kushner-Locke asked me to also do publicity on this movie, based on an old screenplay by David N. Twohy (here credited under the name "Pierce Milestone"). As the shooting schedules for both films overlapped, I soon found myself running two separate publicity units in Hungary and Romania, and at weekends travelling back to London via Zurich airport! Unfortunately, unlike my experience on Mind Ripper, Last Gasp was not an enjoyable experience—the two stars were deeply unpleasant to work with, while co-Line Producer/actor Don Edmonds (director of the infamous Ilsa movies) was one of the most obnoxious people I have ever encountered. Also, Romania was not an ideal substitute for the script's Mexican locations. At least I got on well enough with actor-turned-director Scott McGinnis and such supporting performers as the underrated Vyto Ruginis, Mimi Craven and the delightful Nan Martin, but this was probably my least favourite movie experience—not helped by learning of the premature death of my friend Karl Edward Wagner while I was away on location. Stefan Jaworzyn and Mandy Slater were my publicity assistants.
