I thought this film would be everything that I hate!
But I haven't laughed so much in years!
A comedy classic.
BUT, if you didn't laugh at Bad Taste, you might not laugh at this film!

Mentioned Bad Taste above, think also From Dusk til Dawn and Desperado.
Not that it's like those films, but the humour sort of reminded me of them. Similar music to Shaun of the Dead - some Ash, Whale, ie Brit-indie.
(Note to me -Must watch SOTD!)
It's set in a sleepy very-English village in Gloucestershire (where I live) so that made it even funnier - I know about five villages like that within ten miles of here! And yes, they do talk like that!
Balon - I'm sure it's on u-Torrent or something by now.

Um you know that download thing you can do? not quite sure really!
Tell you what, I've got a mate who's got a dodgy mate who gets p*r*t* dvds all the time, if I can get a copy I'll send you one - just to make up for completely forgetting about Sanctuary in the last turn

Can't wait for it. On my must-see list.

Slightly dodgy camerawork, but you can watch it here.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

Great movie!
I loved how many films they duplicated shot-for-shot scenes. I love action movies, and this works as a great parody/spoof/homage and as an action film.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
