Intimate Stranger (1992) Buy this film on VHS Title: Intimate Stranger Released: 1992 Genre: Thriller Runtime: 96 min Country: USA Language: English Tagline: She just turned on the wrong guy! Comments: Tia Carrere's only nude scene ever... This is one great little movie you got here. If I'm correct, this was a made for TV movie, which would help to explain the look to it. The acting is very good at points, but then seems to fade at others. The maniac, for example, sounds incredibly scary over the phone, but when you see him face to face with heroin Deb, he doesn't seem to be that great. Just a small example. The plot is a little bit thin, but what can you say? It's a cat-and-mouse style movie, which usually doesn't includee much of a plot. The plot, however, doesn't seem to matter here, because the style of it all is great. It has a very eary look and feel to it, and the soundtrack is great (especially the Debbie songs!). So, yes, it may not be the best movie ever made, but it still deserves 5 stars for its creativity and the great sense of horror about it.

Featured in Playboy Magazine, January 2003 edition Named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by people magazine (1992) She ranked # 69 in FHM-USA's 100 Sexiest Women (2001) Personal quotes "The kids all knew me from Wayne's World. The grown-ups knew me after True Lies." "No, I always wanted to be a singer. It was kind of funny that I took this road, started acting, then-almost ten years later-in Wayne's World people finally got to see me sing. And everyone thought it was dubbed in." "Wayne's World was a turning point-after Wayne's World, it was like, "Who is this girl? Where did she come from? Let's give her another job. Have her come in and meet instead of read." "I was an Indiana Jones fan like crazy. I wanted to be Harrison Ford. And I'm so happy that I am now!" "Lara Croft wears shorts and a muscle tee! Let's be honest, she's completely inappropriately dressed for what she does," laughed Carrere. "That's more of a fantasy male fetish character than a real woman. She's like a Barbie doll that moves and shoots people. Sydney Fox is real." "We are doing a very ambitious show, heavy on the action with amazing sets, trying to make everything as real-looking as possible, like the tunnels and the catacombs and the tombs. Up here, we can go out to the forest to double Nepal, and use buildings in Toronto to double Berlin." "God gave me breasts, I have no problem with sharing them with the world, they're not always going to be up here," she laughed, but added seriously, "I say work it, use whatever you've got to get them to watch. It's important in the syndicated world to raise awareness, and I guess that's why they approached me, the business side, the recognizability: I had done a lot of work and a lot of press. They'll learn how smart we are when they watch. I think now we're not afraid of wearing makeup and being sexy and being provocative and passionate, that's part of being a woman." "I'm 32, I think when you get to a certain age, hopefully you've learned some things along the way. I'm still learning, but I'm liking more expressing myself," she added. "It's taken a long time to get to this point, but the people that I aspire to, the people that I look up to, are very strong, opinionated, daring women."
