Interesting facts

Blades is a 1989 American horror comedy film distributed by Troma Entertainment and directed and edited by Thomas R. Rondinella, who also co-wrote the film with producers William R. Pace and John P. Finegan. Its plot concerns a series of brutal murders occurring at a prestigious country club's golf course, which are apparently the work of a possessed lawn mower.

Production

Rondinella stated during an interview that the idea for Blades came about during the production of Girls School Screamers (another film which he, Finegan and Pace worked on together) when Finegan "mentioned it as a future project". Having expressed interest in working on it, Rondinella and Pace were hired by Finegan to write the script, which they did so in nine days.

The film was shot over the course of eight weeks in Villas, New Jersey. Rondinella has described the film as being an intentional parody of Jaws.
