Or consider the character J.J. on TV's Good Times: a bug-eyed young comic of the ghetto with spasms of supercool blowing through his nervous system, a kind of ElectraGlide strut. "Dy-no-mite!" goes J.J., to convulse the audience in the way that something like "Feets, do your stuff!" got to them three decades ago.

Sabotage must also be distinguished from Saboteur, an American film Hitchcock did during the Second World War, which features a great duel-to-the-death atop the torch of the Statue of Liberty, prefiguring the brilliant kitch Americana of the Mt.
