Movie Haiku

ShaneU

Describe a movie in Haiku form (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables)

You can use quotes from the movie, actor's or character's names, or just generally describe the plot. Whoever guesses right goes next. Googling is cheating of course.

A permanent mask
I could eat a peach for hours
Slow motion gun fights

I had a second clue for it already written just in case...

Crazy is the key
A no win situation
The book is better

But you didn't need it...

No to all. I realise it is a bit vague so here is an add on.


Our hero walks tall.
Draws like lightning, kill em all
Walks just like a duck

I've never seen it, so can't be sure everything fits, but I feel there's a few references there in the second haiku that could indicate David Bowie, and paired with the first I feel the general plot of the film is something along those lines, so...

Labryinth?

Labryinth?

Nope. The star of this film is the complete antithesis of Bowie. They really would not have got on well together
