Right at the end of the film before Halleck eats the cursed pie, a fork appears next to the pie between shots.

The position of the Gypsy after she is hit by the car.

When Halleck hits the gypsy in the car, she hits the windscreen and leaves no blood on it, but in the next shot there is blood all over it.

(at around 1h 22 mins) During the end part with the pie, Halleck puts the pie on a small shelf of the corner of the bar.

After the shot with the daughter, the pie is in the middle of the bar, and the shelf disappeared.

I think his hand is back to normal because the curse has been lifted by then.

He was also beginning to gain back his weight.

Based on the novel by Richard Bachman(Stephen King) and directed by Tom Holland, film involves an overweight lawyer(played by Robert John Burke) who accidentally runs over and kills an old gypsy woman, prompting her family(led by Michael Constantine)to curse him by causing him to lose weight. At first a welcome thing, this really does become a curse when the weight loss doesn't stop, no matter how many calories he eats, which of course is highly dangerous, prompting the lawyer to beg for the curse to be removed, and when that doesn't work, takes other, more lethal measures...

The last two scenes ..one with the doctor and earlier the daughter?

Robert John Burke is great in the lead role as a morbidly obese man who gets cursed with rapid, dangerous weight loss when he kills a gypsy and gets a curse placed on him. Besides Burke's performance, the film is a little on the flat side with a few good moments here and there, but it's not one you should feel bad about missing if you haven't seen it already.

TV movie not the best. Interesting story though I'd love to see a remake of it.

A fat lawyer gets thin thanks to a gypsy curse - and because he's a bit of a prick. So are his friends.

In other reviews strewn over IMDb I have perhaps said some less than flattering things about KING (which I stand by) and even less flattering things about the many men in suits who have tried unsuccessfully time and again to bring his work to the screen. (Including King himself, which is a strange irony, but I digress).

An obese Lawyer finds himself growing Thinner when an old gypsy man places a curse on him.Now the lawyer must call upon his friends in organised crime to help him persuade the gypsy to lift the curse.

"Thinner" (1996) was a fun enough outing I'd give it an 8 out of 10. You can easily tell that this story originated with Stephen King.

In the mid 1980s, fans of the horror genre were introduced to an up and coming director that showed promise in his career. That man was Tom Holland.
