    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

    Correct-amundo.

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

    Crazy is the key

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

    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?

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