Ichi the Killer? _ but most everyone has probably heard of that by now? But just incase...
ps. Im looking for a 80s B flick... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Problem is I dont know the name or whos in it, As I saw it once 15 years ago on late night tv. I can give a detailed description of it but that it. thanks for the help!
I cant remember much about this film. I know it was set in a post apocalyptic era. Desert type setting, at least in the opening scenes.
I recall the film starting out in a lab or hospital of some kind. The doctors are putting bar codes(?) on the new Born babies & implanting micro chips in them?
The plot of the movie is when your born, you have a value set to your life. You work & you earn life credits. If you buy stuff ie (food, clothing, ect.) you get scanned & that is taken off of your life... so there is No cash or credit cards, just your life. One early scene a women is buying food at a small store and one of her children knocks over a jar and it goes everywhere. Well she was poor and had to pay for it and im not sure if she could and still buy food for her family?
I recall after that a rich women goes to that small poor town. and She buys the little boy from that same poor women in the store. The boy had a sister but the lady only took the boy. Anyway... fast forward 10-15 years & the Boy is now a man. He runs a business or casino for the rich lady..? The sister he once knew as a boy, comes back into his life... Maybe she is a waitress in the casino?? She is a mess... I think she is gambling in one scene (slots) & she doesn't win.. so this means shes going to die. The brother tries to save her, by adding money to her life...? Not sure the rest of the movie.
Sorry I saw the movie a long time ago. Would really like to see it again, if anyone can help?
ps. Im sure it was a 80's USA up all night movie or something they would play. I saw that movie around the same time I saw "SOLARBABIES" & "MY SCIENCE PROJECT" if that helps? Im sure on the same station about 15-20 years ago. I was pretty young.
Thanks again for the Help, Ive been looking for this movie since I saw it. I was like 8 years old and dont remember the name, if I even knew it then.
You should look back on some of the scenes in Dead Man's Shoes after you have the ending to give them their context. I think particularly the scene when Richard and Anthony are sitting back to back speaking about the sports day...[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Knowing that the entire conversation is all in Richard's head because Anthony isn't really there and the look of regret on Richard's face...For me it's one of the most well acted and touching scenes in any film I've ever seen.
Came out in '95.
Fantastic cast; Andy Garcia, Christopher Walken, Christopher Lloyd, William Forsythe, Treat Williams, Bill Nunn, Steve Buscemi, Fairuza Balk...
From memory, there's a hilarious scene with Treat Williams where he breaks down crying telling how he was forced to eat a nugget of shit in prison to prove himself...the thing was he kinda got a taste for it afterwards!
C.R.A.Z.Y. - It’s a story of two love affairs. A father’s love for his five sons. And one son’s love for his father, a love so strong it compels him to live a lie.
