Same Player Shoots Again

Director Wim Wenders described the short as something that has "[...]a lot to do with pinball machines[...] At the time, you had five balls and five games, and that's a little bit the structure of "Same Player Shoots Again". Visually, it's as if you had five balls. In fact, that was the idea, to edit it this way. It had some music, too, music I found on an old 78 record that was called Mood Music and it sounded like music from an unknown Hitchcock film. I used two small pieces of it - one of 10, and one of 15 seconds, one in the beginning of the shot and one at the end - that is to say - the two pieces of music were repeated as well."
