character wears slippers throughout the movie because when Pinchot met psychic Peter Hurkos during his research, they went out to lunch and Hurkos wore sandals because he forgot to put on his shoes. The Aretha Franklin song "Freeway of Love" plays during a chase scene in the middle of the film. Reception The film was not successful commercially or critically. It made only $5.3 million at the United States box office, $2.16 million of which were earned during the opening weekend. Second Sight received mostly negative reviews. Hal Hinson of The Washington Post said it appeared the film "looks as if it was shot on an everything-must-go, discount basis", and that Pinchot's character "is utterly lacking in either charm or wit". Hinson said the dialogue and direction style were terrible and that Larroquette was rehashing his character from the television comedy series, Night Court. The New York Times reviewer Janet Maslin said Joel Zwick's direction "is so outstandingly maladroit (that) it squelches any possible humor". Maslin also said the film featured too many car chases and had such a pacing of such "artificial liveliness from beginning to end" that "there's nothing in the last reel to distinguish it from the first". Availability The film was released on VHS in 1990. Some 20 years later, in 2010, Second Sight was released on DVD as a MOD title from the Warner Archive Collection, marking its first release in said format.
