Release [ edit ]
Bloody Wednesday was shot in 1985 but released on September 8, 1988, on VHS .[3] DVD in the United States by Film Chest. A Blu-ray release has yet to be announced.
The movie gained poor critical reception and is nowadays known as b-movie cult classic.[citation needed
Differences between the real massacre and the movie [ edit ]
The name of the killer is Harry instead of the real James Huberty and Harry uses a revolver instead of a Browning HP used by Huberty. The Uzi used in the film was fully automatic while Huberty's Uzi was semi-automatic .
James Huberty was taken down and killed by a police SWAT sniper, while Harry is fatally shot down by a restaurant customer.
The real-life massacre took place at a McDonald's restaurant, while the massacre in the movie takes place at a nameless cafe.
The actual massacre lasted for 77 minutes, while the massacre in the movie lasts for the final five minutes.
Five children (under age 18) were killed in the actual massacre, while no children are seen in the movie.[4]
